The great dragon hides away in her cave
Drunk on the beating hearts of her prey
Surrounded by the gifts of her worshipers

Her eyes burn red from the lack of peace
Her breath is sulfurous and fiery hot
Her tongue whips lashes with no remorse

I once pledged my loyalty to her
Gave her my heart and my soul
She scorched it just like the earth around her

Tailored suit
Hot tea
LA
Mid-day
I had been waiting for something
and nothing at all

Highlighter ink and bold text
But you were bolder

You said that you would be remiss
but you don't know I've been dismissed
more often than not

Fascination and mystery
Your eyes see me much differently
But will you call?

And would I answer?
