Boys
Golden tongued great beasts,
With candy lips and sparkling gemstone eyes
With warm hands and hearts and words
Bringing you closer to the rabbit hole.
Before you know it, you're falling.

Boys
With quiet laughs and secret smiles,
The forked lightning in their souls drawing in
Disaster-prone girls like me
Who daydream at midnight of them-
Disquiet running rampant in our minds.

Boys
Sweet, poisoned fingertips;
Clutching skin, hair, face
Leaving behind marks like scars
Feathered kisses with heavy hearts
Then they smile ruefully and depart.

Boys.
