Arms wrapping tight around me,
Loving, tender,
Husky whispers in my ear,
And a content sigh escapes my lips.

Suddenly,
The arms begin to choke,
They hold on too hard,
Strangling me as I struggle to break free,
The whisper becoming chants of threats,
Sigh becoming hysterical shrieks of mercy.

But what's done is done.
Let the snake into the nest,
And it will **** you inside out.
