Balete

There lies a secret in the dark,

A secret made of flesh and bark.

It whispers softly in your ear,

In hopes to draw you ever near.

It wraps your throat with tender force,

Then lets it's poison run it's course.

Your lips they taste sweet sap and mud,

While it's roots feast on your blood.

It sings to you a haunting song,

To reassure you nothing's wrong.

And as you come t'ward your death,

The secret swiftly steals your breath.

For now the secret stays untold,

Revealed but to the dead and bold.
