Wrinkle your nose against her perfume, cough NOW— before her scent slithers into your lungs!

Rub her honey from your eyes or you may not see the drool strings and venom!

If you taste the bile coiling behind your throat, that’s a sign that you have already swallowed a lie.

Spit it up! before the pythons of loneliness and regret curl across your chest and squeeze away your will to breath

Otherwise you will believe her when she says you are unloveable
