there was no teaching her the rules of the world

by Ava Blu


she spoke
with her fingers dancing like silk around your thighs
she meant to be disarming
and would never be apologetic for it

she walked with intent,
forever three steps ahead
and you would lurk 5 steps behind
just to glimpse her face

there was no missed education here,
no foul play
she wore a sign that read
“beware”
which drove you closer there
she waited for you to round the corner
ready to strike
and you would be left a victim
by your own standards of life

you tell me now the story of how your passion was drained
and I remind you of what could never have been gained
it wasn’t the bloodlust in her eyes you craved
nor the smirk upon her face
it was always the hunt,
the rare occasion of finding someone you couldn’t tame

don’t whisper in my ear
hoping sympathy will work on me
I’m just like her, a predator
working on my game

she won’t remember you,
you’ll never accept it,
yet you’ve already forgotten my name.

you can't teach an old bitch new tricks
but I bet you're having fun with the leftovers
