Without warning –

            I was attacked

 

The deadly serpent

Has been stalking me

Watching my every move for the past few months

Watching my comings and goings

Watching my daily routine

 

She tortured me

She wailed her songs

She lured me with her dance

She punctured my tough skin with her razor sharp teeth

 

She sucked everything out of me

She removed all of my vital organs

She dug out my heart from its skeletal shell

 

 

 

Without warning –

            I was attacked

 

The serpent came

Quietly and slowly

From behind she crept

Beneath dark winter clouds

While time was passing on the evolutionary clock

 

I didn’t see it coming

These terrorist tribunals

These tremendous troubles

These explosive endearments

 

She stole my season

She captured all my reason

She made me commit to love’s treason

 

 

 

Without warning –

            I was attacked

 

Night and day

She ate me alive

And she hijacked my heart

 

Now I am defeated

And now I am destroyed
