Snake Tongue

The Snake-Tongued Woman

By Benita GonzalezPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Behind her crooked smile lays a tongue

So sharp that it can cut you into a million

Pieces

And she enjoys this

It gives her power

She's always searching where to spew her venom off on next

And you don't want to be the one

She lashes out on

She looks innocent and normal

Until she opens her mouth and the snake appears

Ready to attack and coil around your neck

Spitting venom on you making sure you can't breathe

Why does she do this

You wonder

I believe it gives her a sick satisfaction

It's a sick abuse of power.
