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.
