Feeding Frenzy |
it's gone now, you know
you'll never get it back--
that unrelenting naivete' indulged
well past its expiration date
you're a foolish woman expending time
better spent listening to those that know better
well, they told you so
now look at you,
a hot fucking mess
it's your own fault really--
you ask for it,
your face a dead giveaway
made up in need, perfumed in gullibility,
Achilles heel begging to be sliced to the bone
(and, O! how those sharks are drawn to blood)
pay attention--
truth lies between lines of the unspoken, reality
lurks just beneath the surface of self-serving
insincerity tugging at heart-strings too worn to
bear the weight, too frail to hold the bait of (al)lure
and now that you've tested the waters,
thrown out the best of yourself, look around--
see what you've become
a cold fish left
dangling on the hook
