Deadly Affair


.
.
.
Whisper hello to your Toxic Mistress
As you sneak her past me
In your pocket
Offer her food and hot drink
Into which she pours dust
From her locket.
Dance round with your Toxic Mistress
To a tune that makes you
Feel young.
You remember the words
But it's hard to sing them
With your ever thickening tongue.
Bid farewell to your Toxic Mistress
As her paranoia seeps into your pores.
Thank God you can't see the horror
As you convulse from her wrath
On the floor.
.

Very profound write with a very strong message Chris.
Fantastic imagery...extremely well done.

This was real good, I like your metaphors. Intense and all opened up. Nice write.

Chris, this is really good. Dark, but not too dark.
