Sweet Venom -
Your affection is suffocatingly sweet
Every word dripping in honey
Every bat of your lashes meant to flatter
Meant to make breaths hitch, heartbeats skip
Like awards you collect hearts
Each collecting dust
Each representing a soul, lost to adulation for you
You’re a serpent
Coiling your shiny scales around their throats
But they don’t realize until it's too late
They’re too caught up fawning over your false smiles
Your slimy praise
They do not realize
That their heart now holds its own placard
Ready to collect dust
