when I left you,
i found teethmarks.

not love bites,
but ones of malice.

you raised your fangs
and pierced my skin.

i was expecting a boa.
you were a black mamba.

it would be a quick kill.
no bones would crack.
it would be a quick kill.
no time for heartache.
it would be a quick kill.
then you'd devour me.

yet, you slithered away.
making me a meal
was not your plan.

you'd let me suffer,
alone.

i wait for your venom.
it thickens my blood,
my heart like cement.

your first victim.
