serpentine lover

Your sense of timing is impeccable
You know when to slither back into my life
At the exact moment I need you the least
And want you the most

I wish I didn't need to hear those words
But somewhere not so deep inside my mind
I know that I do
Even if they are from someone like you

The compliments you whisper to me behind closed doors
Slide off your tongue in one smooth and fluid motion
And for those brief, stolen moments in time
I find myself captivated by beautifully worded lies

I've given up believing that I can be rid of you
Because no matter how many minutes tick away
Between one tale of lies and the next
You will always lurk in the shadows of my world
Waiting to reveal yourself once again
