Saccharine words spoken with

A forked tongue evades naivety.

Skinned teeth you perceived as smiles

Accompanied crinkled windows, veiling deceit.

Grains of time blackened perception

Fingers trail across your severing spine.

Blistered lips brush blemished cheeks,

Your wan countenance boasts internal triumph.

Arms wrap around your neck like a Boa,

Helping you shoot for the stars.

Pinkies tethered by barbed wire

Slickened with bane

From yours truly.
