-costume clothes.

a different glint of beauty
then we are used too these
scarlet king and coral snakes
bring upon all those silly
enough to believe their tricks,
set them against someone
drape one like a scarf around my neck
it will only slightly scare me yet

as you bite my collar bone
make sure to draw blood
so that we will have matching scars

we won't know whether he was a fake
until you're gone that is,

missing you.
