she was spoiled to the core.
a bad apple with a worm inside.
dented brown
and soft with rot.
a horrible human being.
a whip in one hand a plate of cookies
in the other.
as phony as a three dollar bill,
as they used to say.
sinister. deceitful. but charming,
insincerity to the nth degree.
ask anyone. but
she couldn't open her mouth
without a lie falling out.
a praying woman. altruistic
and kind,
until you got her behind closed
doors.
then there was hell to pay.
the fangs appeared,
the mask came off
and her true self came out,
suffer and obey.
it took some time to get her
out of my system,
as it does with most poison
when bitten
by a snake.
but I did. thank god, I did.
