Life’s Little Misdirections 🥀🦋

In lily lake, ladies gathered for a sacrifice
muscled snake, a constriction coil, looping,
regulates her heart, if you’ll have until death
when true love has to part from its mate

But...wait, he can't love you like I love you!
wait, before fate. wait, don't keep living in this lake --
not destiny -- a love forever if he takes you to the depth
in my heart you'll find a reason. ‘cause, he
can’t love you like I love you!

in decay, maggots thrive on a harvest
in stagnant water. muscled man applied his weight
to her waist, consuming all she had until death. It’s too lat --

But, wait! The taste inside your mouth isn’t her.
self-necrotizing, woman bait over-feasting on bones of dead.
Don’t you see, she don’t love you like you could love
someone else forever. She lies in wait, don’t take the bait
'cause she can’t love you, if this is fate.

That snake is her mate! coiling up all around you.
Please don't think you can separate her from a fate.
