Caught in the Trap
The venus flytrap opens her mouth ever so slightly
And the insects fall for her game
They fall for her tricks, her cunning, her reflexes
And the fake personality
Her mouth opens wider
She and the insects are becoming "friends"
Because the insects don't see through her mask
Her mouth opens wider
She's reeling them in
Learning their secrets for future betrayal
Her mouth opens wider
The insects are merely victims, prey, those poor creatures
Tricked so easily into flying nearer to the trap
Her mouth opens wider
Poor creatures, poor creatures
They helplessly will suffer, though they don't realize
That the lies will only get bigger
Her mouth is opening ever so widely
The insects are closer and closer to their fates
The trap of the monster, slowly opening wider
Slowly...slowly...and
Her mouth closes around the many insects now meeting fate
Dead inside for they believed nothing but her lies.
