the evil inside me

I’m a full-dressed villain,
Wearing the iron maiden’s cape.
Squint eyes,
Pouty lips:
“Be careful who to throw those rumors,
You cannot escape.”
As faithful as sheep,
As treacherous as fox.
You will never see me coming:
I hunt,
I kill.
I’ll put your chopped-off head inside the box.
