A Beautiful Snake

Oh, she's suddenly beautiful

-Mr. Jones, Counting Crows

as the wind sweeps her hair to the side

her smile shines bright

making her completely beautiful

but it's not her looks who trap her victims

it's those words that make you think she cares

snaring you with that interested tilt of her head

the calm, gentle words that make you forget

she's really just a snake

once she's got you in her hold

she'll never let go

she eats makeup to make you think

that she's beautiful on the inside

but makeup can't hide everything

Illusion holds us for a while but if it makes us write a poetry on it, it has something more (maybe) :)
