They slithered into my life,

Like the sneaky snake they are.

~~~

They wound themselves around my pounding heart,

 Protecting me with their armor of impenetrable scales,

 But they always seem to squeeze the life out of me.

~~~

 They sank their venomous, sharp fangs into my neck,

Piercing my skin and heart in one painful, blissful bite.

~~~

By poisoning my soul, they claimed me as theirs to keep.

~~~

I could not protest, not even attempt to push them away

 Because, whether by cruel fate or their hypnotizing eyes,

 I was spellbound, I had fallen for the the Serpent King.

~~~

 I do not know if it is this spell, or if just my tainted heart,

 But I feel I would not want it any other way, no, not at all.

~~~

For the Serpent King loves me, just as much I do them.
