FLIRT

death flies in from god knows where
having spoiled somebody else's party,
plops her big ass down
at the table like she owns it
and helps herself to anything she wants

she doesn't care that she's not welcome
and might decide to settle in for a while
to clean out your bank account
before she rips a grave size hole in your heart

she's likely taken some loved ones already
and you might have an idea who she has her eye on this time
but you see her skulking about the house
peeking in on this one or that and it makes you wonder

bitch'll flirt sometimes when the darkness rolls in
making promises she probably can't keep
and you can let her talk but just know
you don't have to go anywhere
until she wraps those ice cold arms around you
and takes you on down
