Love is a snake, with kissing venom lips

The bite is sometimes softer

than you realise or dare admit

Silver slithering silk climbing limbs of youth

Until one day your heart is black with poison

And the snake has become you

Hi Katie, I was feeling slightly bitter... don't worry the feeling passed within minutes lol though I think the poem does hold relevance to those who allow their bitterness to develop! Thanks for reading :) ~ nixie

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. :)

Yeah I felt like being direct, I think I was feeling much like a snake myself when I was writing it lol at least the feelings worn off now! I really doubt you're a snake :P ~ Nixie

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

It was how I was feeling, and me the 'romantic', a snake? Love can make us bitter I guess. Thanks for reading. :) ~ Nixie
