my kindness is a red herring
for tentacles ensnaring
you’re caught in my grip
my sweet words and quick wit
long pink tongues for licking boots
polishing my attributes
to an almost mirror shine
i will wine and dine
you, ready to eat you whole
do give me a part of your soul
i'm hiding my ugly innards
act the saints to all the sinners
fairest of maiden, noblest of gent
first to fall victim to my sweet scent
ever shapeshifting monsters
but the cracks make you ponder
my ultimate form, reader
isn’t a flailing shrieking horror
but any normal person
somehow that makes the truth worsen
