You slink through the grass like a snake Watching me as I walk, oblivious To your plot, your chase, your capture And then you attack. Lunging at me, sinking your teeth into me. I cry out in pain, shocked You bite harder as I cry, And I swear I can almost hear you laughing. As you let go, I find myself numbing to the pain of your sting Yet at the same time, Wishing for another bite. Despite the hurt, why do I feel charmed that it was me you preyed upon?

Snake In the Grass
You slink through the grass like a snake Watching me as I walk, oblivious To your plot, your chase, your capture And then you attack. Lunging at me, sinking your teeth into me. I cry out in pain, shocked You bite harder as I cry, And I swear I can almost hear you laughing. As you let go, I find myself numbing to the pain of your sting Yet at the same time, Wishing for another bite. Despite the hurt, why do I feel charmed that it was me you preyed upon?
This is how my last relationship felt - painful, toxic love.
