Ruby Red

A kiss from her lips are sweeter than honey, sweeter than nectar a blessing from disaster till her kiss spreads the venom from her poison to your brain the sickest pain, felt from undercover, she hit the biggest the vein Vanity, she lured you in with vanity discreetly she lured you in with pleasantries whispered fantasies of slipping out of her tight red dress taunting you in distress with constant missteps, oh she's a tease but a tease armed to the teeth in black leather and lace to tie you up with a whip over your neck like a noose pulling the strings harder threatening to kill with looks like that, she's guaranteed to have your heart on a string tugging in tow like a lost abused puppy but you like the attention you cowardly dog you like the attention Those ruby red lips, the perfect actress you let her spill the milk in your ears a mess you can't clean up, a mess you can't cry over as you feel you're friends, the very best of friends but there's a ring of rumors surrounding you like daffodils on a banister while she the pretender is the ring leader Trust in your trust and you'll find you're the deceiver being deceived by the pair of slender sleek legs you claim to detest but you know you have the fondness in your heart for those ruby red heels stepping all over your self esteem You want to be the prom queen, date the prom queen dominate the social scene dance with the angel of the school her hair, a waterfall of grace twin green eyes, a jade dragon engraved in twin marble stones you're in love in more ways than one yet you dance with the cold air of the outside world as you're mortified that she winked at you from across the universe stealing a kiss from the rival you loathe stealing your dreams, stealing your world, shattering your songs Now you sit here at your computer, typing a wish list counting all the wishes you wish were true but all the wishes you conjure up involve her and you letting this ruby red seductress, a leeching parasite, envelope you
