The snake did nest in her mouth

it’s poison ate away at her skin

nothing covers her aged bones

but lies and smoke and sin.

The snake did nest in her mouth

it’s forked tongue pierced her brain

no thoughts live in her skull just stories of what had been.

The snake did nest in her mouth

it slithered its way to her heart

she wants to love she wants to live but the snake has its own dreams now.
