bare your teeth
make it look like a smile
let your lips sell the sweetest lies

whisper to draw him close
enough to hear him breathe
keep your hands off his body
until he takes the lead

shed your silken armor
coax his weapon into your hand
lie back
let softness disguise danger
a deception laid plain
on bedsheets bare

men are much sweeter
when there’s less of you to fear

break his skin with your teeth
drink his blood with each kiss
carve a cavity in his chest
fill it
with empty promises

crush his bones with your thighs
be lethal on your knees
you’ll know you won
when he begs for release

let him sleep in false peace
then slip out of his sight
drive him out of his mind
in morning’s sharp light

let x mark the spot
where you leave his body behind
