He slithered on the ground towards me “I want you” “You’re beautiful” He’s at my feet begging me to look into those hypnotizing eyes “You’re perfect for me” “I love you” He wraps himself around my knees keeping them from shaking “You make me a better person” “You complete me” He is coiled around my thighs making me feel stable “I need you” “Never leave me” He’s wound around my stomach giving me the façade of butterflies “You’re mine” “You’re nothing without me” He wraps around me tighter slithering up around my neck making it hard to breathe “You’ve changed” “You’re weak” And as he moves on to his next victim The venom he injected into my veins Makes me want him to want me all over again.
