Beware

Cyanide Smile

She will smile as she’s plotting to claw out your eyes

she will kill you will kindness and some cyanide

She'll invite you to join her, to plan your demise

she may play the fool, but you'd better be wise

She is trouble dressed up in a gown of delight

though she smiles like the sun, she is dark as the night

She may stay for the game, but she will always win

you may fall for the girl, beware the devil within

She's seen your type before, she has you all figured out

though you'll never know it, all caught up in her pout

She has drawn you in, like a moth to a flame

there is no-one to help you, you have yourself to blame

By the time you've discovered the mess you are in

she will have served you for dinner, while wearing a grin

fact or fiction
