Soon enough it will come to you,

It will slide around your neck with vines.

Do not resist, do not pull back.

Sip the poison like cheap wine.

Soon enough they will lie to you.

The blade will only scar when twisted.

Breathe the fumes, let them spread.

You can run or you can risk it.

Soon enough I will call you home.

The sound will crack your skull in two.

Stay calm, do not rush it.

Trap the beast in your own zoo.

-Jackie
