Ophidian

Tongue danced victorious on a velvet skin
Scales cut deep, revealing the flesh and bone.
A choking throat amidst His coils
One more heart danced to a tail's beat.
.
The venom boasted it would cure
Ended up being toxic.
Drunk too much for my own good
Now wrath bubbled beneath a mourning chest.
.
Cautioned by many to beware,
Cautioned. Yet too vain to care
Chose to get him under my skin
And now He danced from within.
.
Bitten almost a thousand times
Still I didn't learn.
That serpants were never friendly
And serpants wanted you to burn.
