Warned

If you knew what was good for you
you'd keep your distance.

My sweet, innocent face can actually be
quite deceiving.

I'll draw you in with a smile, a laugh...
a gentle touch of the hand.

But if you'd taken the time to look in my eyes...
you would have seen what was behind them.

Don't come too close.

I'll wait patiently day after day for you to surrender
your heart to my open hand and
I'll still be picking pieces of it out from between
my teeth while you're asking yourself what happened.

Don't say you weren't warned.

And when I'm finished punishing you
and tearing you apart from the inside out...
you'll still beg for more.

They all do.

You were right to run in the other direction.
