Deception

[dancing_nereid]

She is fragile, strong, and controlling.
She is deep, addictive, dangerous.
Smothering him like a wet and heavy coverlet.
Enveloping his eyes, his nose, his mouth.
Her liquid form, seducing him from the start.
She is there for him in times of need.
Never disappointing and killing him a little more with every passing day.
Impossible to breathe,
He succombs to her.
Letting her into all of him.
Invading his hopes, his dreams, his body, his mind.
His life belongs to her.
