Poetry from the Heart of Darkness

ALL POETRY © SEAN MULLIGAN. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 

just like a scorpion
with no one left to sting
I let you put me on
this fragile little string

a grain of sand in the hour-glass
the sign of your disguise
I'm just a helpless victim
caught up in your web of lies

twist the knife, twist my life
as you weave your wicked wile
shun the light, embrace the night
snare me with your poison smile

just like a tiny fly
a fool doomed from the first
you left me here to die
to sate your evil thirst

drain my blood, drain my soul
steal my warmth and leave me cold
take it all, take it all
cut me loose and watch me fall
