Flirting with Death

She smiles so wickedly,
With eyes so sweet
A laugh so enticing,
To make the strongest man weak.

A cigarette hangs from her mouth,
A cold stare slightly meek,
Sinister and sexy,
Her poisonous mystique.

She looks at me lovingly,
With heavy remorse,
The closer I get to her,
 The quicker I go hoarse.

My skin starts to shrivel,
My hair goes snow white,
The thing I feared most,
Finally comes to the light.

“You’ve evaded me long enough, my dear.
It’s time to come home.”
Blood falls from my eyes,
As my mouth brims with foam.

I cannot resist her,
I heed the call of the abyss,
Distracted by her touch,
She steals my soul with a kiss.
