The snake, in all its beauty, coils around my heart,

Its venom, a powerful poison, soon to start.

Its gaze, the strongest magnet, pulls me into its den,

As I lose myself to its lethal intent.

The toxins drop like honey from its teeth

Wrapping itself around me, with no sense of relief

Its promises lure me deep into sin

Its sweet words set a fire deep within

Yet, like a drug, the snake has me enslaved,

Its poison coursing through my veins.

I know its danger, I know its sway,

But still I find myself in its perilous way.

The serpent’s grip tightens as I grow weak,

Its venom, corrupting, no longer so meek.

My knowledge, my judgement, they’re fast asleep,

As I surrender to the darkness, deep deep deep
