forked tongue delusion

The tongue is cold and wet
Slithering
The lair of gold
Consume, consumed

They care not
Take care of
Unending riddle
Seek fortune, alas

The serpents call
Injected venom
Severing ties
Breaking will

Dried up, alone
You cannot heal
Point of no return
Vomiting emptiness

The endless fall
The bottomless abyss
Illusionary wealth
In sweet decay
