i think
that maybe
i should be more
careful
because you were
the sweet syrup
that a
pest
like me could
never resist
and your words
were even sweeter
and although you
never said anything
you were calling for me
i thought
that perhaps you
craved my companionship
but you were
simply bored
and i was
simply yet
another pest
stuck in your
void
i think
that maybe
i should pick
my poison
a little
wiser
