The Snake

Didn't mean to let the poison out, Didn't know I was a snake Now I'm afraid it might be too late For the prey to be saved and so it goes... I never wanted to inject my venom nor let her go But there she goes What a most deadly substance for the soul My so called love, my evil role. I tried but I couldn't, I couldn't resist the sweet taste of flesh All I could hear was the devil on the left While on my right ear I appeared to be deaf. She faced death, My victim faced a lifeless life, does that make any sense? It might sound quite unbelievable But believe me it's far from unprovable The blood, tears and decaying heart Are but a small part of the proof, But a portion of the damage, The wrongdoing of the once prude.
