I loved the way the
lies
Slithered off of her
tongue
Making me feel like a
grown man
Even though my
actions were young
Yeah I was dumb
And at the time
Dumb was fun
That’s until I was overcome
With her venom
Leaving my body numb
Only feeling the
after affects
Of this meticulous attack
Not realizing I was
trapped
I had become an easy
snack
Her voice was so seductive
Telling me I must eat
the fruit
Even though I was
reluctant
I hungered for the
truth
The knowledge of good
and evil
Marinated in its
juice
Lost in the
wilderness
Because I chose to
break this truce
Blindly loyal
Constricted by her
coil
Her cold blood warmed
As my cool blood
boiled
Crushing everything
that was in me
Consuming everything
that was left
Keeping me alive-Only
so I can be
Cognizant of this
cruel
And painful death
