Velvet Venom

Black dress on the bedroom chair. Lipstick on the wine glass, still warm air.

You trace my spine like a warning sign. Say my name slow like you

want my time. You say relax, but your hands don't listen. Heart in my

throat, heavy beat, slow friction. Every small touch is a hell-back

scream. You pull me under like a fever dream. Velvet venom on

your tongue tonight. Kiss me, kill me, make it feel right.

I keep crawling back to your dark delight. Poison in my veins,

but it feels like light. Velvet venom, I can't wake awake.
