Serpent

Her forked tongue slithers from her mouth like two razor blades...

I hide behind the corner in anticipation.

Her love. Her love is nothing more than tattered hollow sentiments;

lost in translation long ago.

She weaves a tapestry of vague riddles and lies; seducing me...

Incising me with small breaths of memories.

That light that resided behind her eyes has been stolen and

replaced with nothing.

I am now only waiting...

Waiting for her attack...
