Sweets

I walk through the land of misery
I walk through the land of pain
I grasp your soul as it comes at me
Then it slowly fades away
My hands are like poison
My mouth is a snake
Venom flows through my veins 
To trick you is so great
Your mind like a child 
Tempted by sweets
Candy from around the world 
Brought you to your knees
Your soul is mine forever now
I have it in a jar
Escape is not an option 
For I've taken you afar
