Dark Love

Soft and gentle I come to you.... My voice drips with honey You'r enraptured with my skin On the bed you leave your money And then the knife begins to sting You fool, you never had a chance I wanted you for blood and gore You came hoping for romance Your look is uncomprehending As the red seeps to the floor I drink from your life force And then quietly close the door.... For That Dark, Dark contest.....

I'm shaking, fellow LNC. Glad this write is just for a contest! I'm sure a similar scenario has played out in real life -- by those on the "dark, dark" side, of course. Chilling! Good luck in the contest, Barbara. Love, Carolyn
