Who bewitched you
into thinking of me
as feeble
easy
prey?
You dug a grave
in preparation
with cruel intentions
as your shovel
AMBUSH!
You laughed,
cackling,
as you licked the blood
from the lips
of your wide open
sharp-toothed
jaw.
Ambivalent...
You discarded what was
Left of me
at the dinner table
...alone.
