Death
November 30, 2015
Scarlet lips near the base of my throat
A small carress at my cheek bone
Vain words whispered in my ear
Telling me lies I wish not to hear
Tattoos spilled across her neck
Dripping across, she was not wreck
She was menacing, with a deadly finish
And that was when my soul began to diminish
Scaring me with phrases like 'eternal rest'
Never even putting me to a test
There was no fight
The persuasion was light
And I had been gone by the end of the night

I wanted to make death seem like a seductress that lures one into a deep sleep, with the person being mixed up in emotions.
