Shame displayed
'Twas the disguise
For my demise.

His 'guise
Was a distraction
To my surprise
It almost worked

Say one thing
Mean another

Careful child
He's the viper

His words of sorrow
Merely the spider's gnarled web

He'll strike
Carefully, with knowing intent

Intelligence
Is evident
Sinisterly so

Watch yourself
He'll drag you down
With a smile

Prey in sight
Never let go
His now

No sudden movements
He'll give chase

Watch your back
He's everywhere

With quick words
Smart planning
He'll capture you

Run child
'Cus he's the Viper
And it's YOU he wants.
