Sweet like salt

Bitter like sugar

Be one or the other

How you enjoy to destroy and mislead

Be a leader yet you follow

But as cunning as you are

You slide your tongue through the crack of walls 

Like an evil snake you are

Your feet lay up and your head down

Breathing goes very fast

Faster and faster

Then just as you open your eyes

They close so soft yet brutal
