She Seeks His Demise
Sheer anguish is what she seeks
like a two-edged sword
coming from her mouth
she request his very soul to pierce
She cannot flog him as she wishes
so venom spews from her lips
taking away his power
shutting down his vital organs
Just as a wounded animal,
caught in the jaws of death,
he prayed to perish
as her fangs sink deep into his flesh
The sureness of reality he sees,
the certainty his demise will be.
