Flourishing Fraud

deceit pumps through her veins
fuel to her black soul



daggers fly from her mouth
effortlessly piercing victims



ungrateful 
ignorant
deceptive
pseudo companion 
	fraudulent friend of mine


treason
the basis of her existence

thriving off every betrayal
every perfidy


fantastic fink
spectacular snitch 


spewing infidelities


never ceasing to demoralize the righteous
corrupt manipulation of the innocent
puncturing the enervated 



a ghost of regret 
chasing me
haunting me

lurking in the shadows 
eager to invade
and conquer me

devouring  every shred of elation

yearning for deliverance
