Nighttime Dream

Hair black as a raven
Skin white as snow
She visits you nightly
When in your dreams you're alone
She promises you riches
She promises you gold
All while she's smiling
She's tainting your soul
A master of illusion
A trickery in the arts
She'll make you love her
Than hand you you're beating ripped out heart
You're cries they don't phase her
It's like music to her ears
She's a perfect combination
Of all your wishes and fears
Be careful I tell you
Take heed I say
Or tangled in her dark vines
You'll permanently stay
