His hands are an artist's, — There's power in them To sculpt To create To demolish, — And she's letting him Make her his subject. She looks up at his face As he molds her like clay Whispers to him: "I don't like you But I love you." His eyes are like a hurricane, — Wild and vicious Ravaging everything That he **** well pleases. He tries knocking her down, — Tearing her apart Stripping her bare So she'll have to rebuild, — But she stands still. Back straight against the wall She tells him, "I don't need you But I want you." His mouth is like a hot knife, — His tongue gleams like silver Beneath the light of a pretty lie His words, serrated Cutting deep enough To make even the most obscure parts bleed. She looks on as he takes a stab Utterly unmoved, — The wounds he leaves Are never more than superficial. She grins at him And states: "You are dangerous, But you aren't frightening." His heart is a rabbithole, — It's a long way down that dark tunnel But, if you're brave enough to take the tumble, Once you finally land You'll come face-to-face With a mere little boy, — Frail and trembling Trapped for years. Gracious and graceful, She takes the boy's trembling hands In her steadfast grip And offers the truth, — "You're a vampire, you see, — A predator as old as time, But once I stake you You're done for." His skin is like ice, — Cold and thin Melting away Beneath her fingertips. She looks at what she's done And shakes her head Before bursting into brilliant flame. "You kept trying to **** me, — And one day, you might have, — But, love, I am a phoenix. I've burned and burned A million times over But you know I'll always rise again."
