beauty lingers upon
the words that flow
 so easily from your
serpentinely forked tongue.

 everything that you say
is, oh, so beautiful. but
 it's all lies.

and yet i come back
 to you to embrace
every word that you say.

 i cling to your last
whisper, always hungry
 for more.

i'm always trying to
 get a taste of the
ravaged passion that
 stains your tainted lips.

and i'm always only
 receiving bittersweet
pain and sorrow.

 it's beautiful how easily
you hurt me
 and it's funny how i
always think you will change.
