Species.
I am toxic but unmarked,
No dainty hourglass adorns my thigh;
Only hourglass hips have I.
No yellow streak
No angler’s smirk
My peril lies hidden under flesh clockwork,
Beneath coal eyes and
Proud rib-cage
A rotting heart lay plumped with lies,
Like cholesterol, clinging
To my veins.
I am a special breed, you see
An evolution, if you
may.
With Lady Lilith’s DNA
I am a plague on monogamy.
The virile succubus is I
For I was always meant
to be
A living paradox with desire
Oozing out from every seam.
No sincere grin
No latent tear
My truth lies hidden under a harsh performance,
Beneath matte face and
Pursed, red lips
A rotting boy lay trapped in the cage,
Of a grotesque metaphor,
He begs for death.
