The Snake That You Are Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi
The Snake That You Are
The snake slips out of its skin
but never changes
Its tongue makes me nervous
But it's harmless
Its teeth--the venom is
What you watch for
You're the snake that I fear now
My stomach pain increases
With the thought of yr love
Yr poison is yr tongue--and touch
And when I behead you
I will peel yr skin to find yr soul
And make a robe of vengence with it
Very well written about the betrayal and the revenge there after.. the snake analogy is excellent..very good write.
A snake is a snake always. It can change the outer layer of its skin. But the venom inside will remain fatal for ever.
This is unfortunate, yet these are the evils of love. Betrayal is expectable when you are in love.
This is poem is heart breaking and well expressed. A so called 'love' full of manipulation and disguise. Just stay away.
(cont.) OOPS! I thought 'shoe-in' was correct, BUT IT IS 'shoo in', an expression with an interesting origin and definition found by Googling.
If I were still putting together usually-monthly 'showcases' of other PH poets' poems, this The Snake That You Are would be a 'shoe-in' ***. (continued)
And, finally, : I'm glad I'm not facing you in a fight to the death, though ////////at 'my age', Death has to come someday. bri : )
