You would taste differently
If you didn't swallow
Every single thing
You own, or don't own
Thief, I've witnessed
Your obvious deceptions
How you slide past barriers
And into the most intimate-
Parts of the most beautiful,
Innocent little ladies
Your hands would feel softer
If you didn't clasp
Everything with such vengeance
Such vigour, such intensity
Your suitors tread slowly
When you have fire in your eyes
Pick a role, pick a title
It's what the world demands
Not many will see the truth
In your words, from your lips
How could they believe it when
You are the vulnerable victim
Inside the prevailing predator
