your skin soothing as it seems,
smooth to the touch,
but, a feeling so poisonous.
so venomous,
performing in your own dark world,
where your mind creates a gimmick,
to trap those who are dumb enough to get caught,
those like me.
i'm a fool,
and you're a snake.
i fell for you, despite my own warnings
despite seeing the signs of danger,
this was a mistake.
i became drawn to you.
addicted, like a moth to a flame.
rip my wings off,
keep me grounded.
away from you.
everything about you is a hoax.
a ruse.
you seemed so delicate but in truth,
you displayed your fangs,
ready to bite,
keeping me in your toxic world.
