She's a venomous snake wrapped around my throat.
Her obsidian scales reflecting the flames of my burning Heart.
"She doesn't bite," I said,
While I felt cold venom enter my blood.
Her demonic eyes lure me to the shadows,
And I can not resist.
Like the Ocean of Blood, her stare
Gives me a frightening death wish.
Her tight grip drains my lungs from air,
And leaves me hanging pale.
I've tried to warn my Soul of her,
But no one hears a dead man's tale.

Snakes since the garden of Eden. Venom in a cold reptile. Well written
Compulsion? Temptation? Great write.
