Venomous Words
I see the look in your eyes
Words flashing in your iris
Before your lips move
Mouthing mere mutters
Yet your tongue darts out
A serpent’s flick
Twisting and striking
Fangs sinking into my flesh
Stinging brutally
Venom seeps from your glands
Injected deep
Spreading through my veins
Circulating around every part of me
Paralyzing me with your voice
Destroying what’s left inside
As I bleed internally
Left to search for the last dose
Of antivenom before it consumes me whole
Words flashing in your iris
Before your lips move
Mouthing mere mutters
Yet your tongue darts out
A serpent’s flick
Twisting and striking
Fangs sinking into my flesh
Stinging brutally
Venom seeps from your glands
Injected deep
Spreading through my veins
Circulating around every part of me
Paralyzing me with your voice
Destroying what’s left inside
As I bleed internally
Left to search for the last dose
Of antivenom before it consumes me whole
