She creeps into your heart
and holds you hostage.
Her touch is a familiar one
a reminder of your childhood dreams.
Her tongue is charmed.
She will spin gold with her words,
wrapping you in unbreakable shackles
locking you in her cage.
She will weave a web of lies.
She will trap you and eat you whole,
like a spider eats a fly.
No amount of physical strength can set you free.
She kisses your neck,
a cat and mouse game of seduction and evasion.
But eventually you will fall for her tricks
and she will suck the life from your eyes.
She is Peitho.
Fear her.
