Snow White
Candy-red lips retreat as pearly whites sink in
Shiny-sweet surface hides the poison heart within
Still, she sucks at the juice because it tastes like sin
But pleasure always comes at a price.
And what be the cost on one bittersweet bite?
Collapse to the depths of one endless night
The apple falls from her hand; she falls to her plight
Sleep, pale princess. Sleep well.
