Beautiful poem, but I sure hope love isn't like that! I wouldn't know. I'm just thirteen. :-)

chilling to the point where one says its true. But only those who have been bitten. I guess i was bitten once, but now the snake tends my wounds, if that makes any sense at all to you hahahah.
(i think i am a snake now, but without fangs hahah, sorry, im just amusing myself, and i-- sorry haha)
Short but direct. :)

Ooh, love it! I think we can all honestly say that we have felt that way at some point! Scarily real.
