Snakey

peto

A life of almost total bliss 

Is traded for her fatal kiss 

Her practised stylish whispered hiss

For snakey there's no sin 

 

Wrapped up against the constant frost 

A tax tops up the priceless cost

A heart that breaks for children lost 

For snakey there's no sin 

 

She prays to find another way 

Forgets about the price to pay 

In seedy bars is where she'll stay 

For snakey there's no sin 

 

The men will come and they will go 

Mere extras in her talent show 

The friend had left but not the foe

For snakey there's no sin 

 

She turned her head to see he stayed 

The only one who never paid

She let herself be gently swayed 

When snakey shed her skin

    Ah, I have a sister like this, I do find this incredibly sad how a women can manipulate her way through life and I often wonder if some even realize they are doing it, but then it's the same way for men, my first love was.like this. I learnt so much from him, I was lucky never to have married him or have children. But I do feel for men and women who go that much further hoping it's love and it turns out to be a poetry book. ❤️

            I love the way you have framed the profile of one who seems to need constant gratification/validation. Who knows why they do it, but it seems she's stumbled upon the one person who holds the key. Great write my friend!
