she was like
dark alleyways and shadowy silhouettes
of secret words behind closed lips
as deadly as those who came to collect their debts
seducing men easily with a sway of her hips
she was like
temptation and sin wrapped in one
of bad intentions that dripped of her tongue
sharp as a knife, sweetness ready to tease
but still not quite easy to please
she was like
a game of russian roulette
knowing you're playing with life and death
and yet still willing to take that bet
for her smile alone could steal your breath
she was like
danger flavored candy canes
sweet and seductive, like her dark fame
it made many want to chance her wrath
even when she was on a warpath
she was like
an avenging angel fallen from the stars
her mangled halo surrounded by hells fire
beautifully broken even from afar
sent here to seek out the liars
she was
the love of my life
even as she killed me with a knife
a murderess mistress
deadly just like her bloody red kisses
