Lady in red

You watch as she sucks on a lollipop    
Her lips are stained cherry red    
Her looks could make you wish you were dead    
She's unreal, like a siren from a foggy dream    
When she laughs her perfect white teeth gleam    
You could never guess someone so beautiful is so mean    
A devil in angel's skin      
     
You wish you were her or with her    
but you're neither    
     
She takes a sip of her drink and sets it down    
Her red coffin-shaped nails drum against the glass    
She smiles at you, and you wonder if she'd ever give you a chance    
The thought flashes through your mind like lightning, too quick to make it seem meaningful    
     
She leans closer and whispers something obscene    
It's just a trick    
She likes to see how much it takes for you to get flustered    
     
She should come with a warning    
Don't touch    
Don't look    
She's cursed
