with a predator's grin.
Sweeps her of her feet
with his charms and guile.
He conceals his fangs
behind a mask of love,
waiting for an opening,
waiting for the kill.
In ambush he lies,
stalking his quarry,
without a thought
for consequence.
A romantic dinner
by candlelight,
a clever ploy,
a baited hook.
She never sees
it coming.
Blue-eyed and
innocent,
she laughs and smiles,
offers up her heart
to a hungry beast.
As light wanes,
emotions wax.
A husky breath
on exposed skin;
sighs of expectation
fulfilled.
It is time
for the stalk to end.
A faint cry echoes
throughout the night
as he steals the innocence
of this virginal blossom,
staining its bed of soil
with crimson.
With the dawning of light
enfolds a terrible scene.
Enlightment flutters
onto the shoulder
of the prey.
Her lover's true nature,
so carefully hidden,
becomes achingly clear.
Her bed is empty,
the covers disturbed.
Feelings of usage
boil to depression.
Hands shaking
in shame and regret,
she grasps her
shatterered dream
and stabs herself
with the edge.

This idea just randomly popped up into my mind while waiting for sleep (don't ask, I have a twisted mind 
). I'm no poet, but I wanted to give it a try. So, honest opinions please. Also, the title sucks, I know, any suggestions?
Hope you enjoyed it. ^^

And if my readers think the title is good, then it's good enough for me.
