Psychology 101

by Zpoetess

Didn't you know? Didn't they tell you? You should have known. At least you ought to. It's Psychology 101. A classic class. In how to charm. Then disarm the victim. Didn't you know? Weren't you paying attention? You were too caught. In his gaze. The way he said your name. He played the prey. Perfectly waiting. Biding his time. As his jaw gnawed, At his cheek. In the back of the class. He watched you. Following your footsteps. Waiting to feast. It was psychology 101. But I guess you must, have fallen asleep. If there isn't any hope, for you? Then what hope is there for us? Next time I hope you'll be paying attention. Instead of falling asleep. In my lesson.
