Little Red's Story // part 2

Little Red's Story:
There are words between the lines
little red red red come hither, he said
with smoky eyes and a needing smile
it wasn't that kind of hunger, after all
she knew about the teeth but his pleading look told her
that he would swallow her whole
so she put down everything she had ever carried
everything she had ever learned
every warning that ever traveled down her spine
every dream that horrified or comforted her in the night
she put them down by the bed
and she dove into the mouth that would hold her
into the hollow space left in him by some other
There are words between the lines
he licked his lips
and waited for death
