I want to unzip you
Peel back the layers of cloth armor you hid behind
Getting my kicks seeing men spilled at my feet
I'm patient
Needling their tread
Watching them slowly unravel
Stories written on skin
Memorizing
The ink
The blood
The tears
And it's not like I'm cruel
I just like reaching in and taking what they took from me
What they want from me
The hunger
for that glint in their eyes
It consumes me
And what foolish men getting cut
By feminine wiles
So full of the last damsel he swallowed
Wanting something sweet just to polish him off
So I smile like an angel
Used to the cloud bruises on knees
Praying
And that's the thing about halos
I'm learning gold rings are just as sharp as horns
And I want to unzip you
Turn rabid beast into a graveyard
Flirt with your devil and leave neither one of us saints
Let you fiddle the strings
And remind you who won when the devil went to Georgia
It was always just me and you in this room
And so I unzip you
And when you want to leave I sayCome
Come
Come
But just remember what I'll leave you with
Your own sticky mess spilled on the floor
