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
