By J.L. Moore
The viper stings
A reckless heart
Plants its poison
The decay to start
And then it slithers
Slowly awayFully aware
It's left you with
Death
To hold your hand
As you take your last
BreathWicked love sings
A sour note
Then waits around
To laugh and gloatSo watch your back
When Cupid's on the
Prowl
For love can be
Deadly and foul
