A Penny For Your Thoughts
Twist the knife and fling
little flirtation and smile behind the scenes
Post regret in mind
a red haired witch...aye
Dagger to sheath it isn't
swing wide and cut with precision
A legion's terror
aimed for the throat
cut deep and dig further...goat
Insidious lust for greed's sake
a dominion of trust forsaken
Jeering from both sides to your mouth
gagging on the venom
Burn the tongue
and the wither the corpse
all you evil
The soul away
lingering in the dark
waiting to bate the lark
A pittance for your thoughts

Not sure why I thought of the band The Mars Volta when reading this, it transcends into that dark and mysterious in the way you wrote these lines.
Great work.
Great work.
