Venomous

Coiled desire's constricting lair
in tightening spirals
hold taut
and bare
her heart ensnared in a barbed embrace
And disgraced for this
I scream my guilt
For I am her curse, she is the hilt
Of the silvered sword, the serpent's tongue

 of ancient lore
I am the liar, I am the w***e

and I deserve this, nothing more

I deserve nothing more
