Mr Sinister

 He’d whisper “I love you”
With fingers crossed behind his back
He’d kiss her hand
hold it tight
Until it cracked

Empty promises
Lies spilled from his lips
such sweet words
With no hesitation
The girl he stirred

In the night he was a snake
He’d slitter in
Trail up her legs
Wrap around her neck
Until she begged

God how she tried
To be the one
He’d want in his sleep
Crave in her absence
What a fucking sheep

“Kill me romantically.”
He took those words
Inhaled a slow deep breathe
Caressed her face
And snapped her neck
