The Serpant & the Venom

The Serpant & the Venom

A Poem by Kala Benfield
"

this is for you and all the girls hearts youve broken. Heres to you.

"
Shall I start with caring?
Or manipulation ?
I see where your words are taking you.
They taste sour.
Like venom seeping from the 
fangs of a serpent.
Waiting for its next victim.
What will her name be ?

We walked hand in hand,
side by side.
You were mine.

Manipulation settles into my skin.
It burns with every second 
of your fangs inching closer to 
my translucent veins.

Wish upon your shady stars.
Inhale defeat;
exhale me. 
Don't be mad darling,
it was my fault remember ?

Quiet down,
Can you not hear my heart racing?
Palpitating out of my chest?
Exploding on my walls with all the paint,
all the lies, and truth stretched beyond 
my eyes can see.
Oh, no.

My desperate delicious soul.
You turned me
into your little pet.
B*****d reveal yourself to the world.
'Cause when your heart shatters,
you'll die,
like the rest of your victims. 

In a world gleaming in the 
reckless indulgent of beauty,
we scream o're the losing 
of our love.
Convulsing in such 
a disaster.
Libating the sting going
down our throats.

Pulsing through the day 
with electrifying burn running
down our faces.

Was it our fault?
Did the embitterment satisfy you?
Embaressing embrace you called upon
that day.
For all of us.
What did we all get out of it ?
Nothing.
Cipher. Pure intensity.
Defeat and Guilt.
I guess something.

Beyond our control,
the blood runs,
chasing the break,
the revealing utterance 
in my voice.

We really don't care.

Your as pointless 
as the pen and paper,
writing envisage.
Pointless as the affliction
coursing our 
pittyless minds.

You prod our memory
with the fang we love.
Our heart beats nimble 
and carelessly.

Every breath,
every hour,
has brought us one step 
closer to the chip, chisel
and the dead.
Time ticks loud in our heads,
decreasing our limits to show
our affection.
Your fangs speak for themselves.

We weaken at the howl of your
whimsy exhale.
For a thousand years we've beckoned
our losings.
Our chances to be more.
To hang ourselves less.
But instead, 
darling,
my beautiful serpent,
the devil himself,
you had something much more planned.

Dripping nicotine and cadet.
More so of the libating smell of 
the sting that sears your throat.
Venom, poison.

You have a comfort that 
the darkness brings.
Is anyone listening?
Or am I alone like you
left me,
tell me so 
my death-defying serpent.

Sketched your defiance
with blue prints.
Fangs hover over us,
you made us blind.
Your frightening.
Devious. 
But oh so delicious.

We wont stop you,.
for we have no clue.
Of what you plan 
to do.
We swore never
again will we let
death and poison be 
the end of us.

Sink your fangs into us.
Almost immediately we die,
as it stings anonymously
through our faint veins.

We are dead.
& you are onto 
your next victim.

Good luck to you.

Reviews saved your boy friend from my fang.
I felt relief when I knew that it was your imagination.
He actually didn't inject his venom on any one except he captivated you with his love a special type of venom that may be a pheromone.
However,yours write is amazing.
The serpents that pretend true love and exploit may be due to greater craziness of girls.
They seem to allow too much favor before knowing the nature of the man under guise.
Would you fix the spelling,'Serpant' in the title?

This was jaw dropping, You have such an amazing talent with words and you display them powerfully."I see where your words are taking you, They taste sour, like venom seeping from the fangs of a serpent." This stood out in my head for some reason. Intense imagery and I can most definatly relate to your message .
