Poison

She’s an ever present temptation

The source of a million aches

So easily can she wrap you around her finger

You can deny her nothing

Despite the destruction she leaves in her wake

With stars in her eyes

And the moon in her hair

She intoxicates you

Like a siren luring you to her lair

And happily you go

Perfectly willing to be her fool

Just to find yourself having to pay her price

Her love didn’t come free

Nothing that good does

So as fast as she came into your life

You soon discover just how easily she can disappear

And that beautiful perfect finger that you so happily curled yourself around

Turned out to be a talon equipped with poison to infect you in its wake
