She was taking care of what she thought were nilly willy worms

They've been feeding on her blood and sweat and always asked for more

They started growing a foot long each every single year

Blinded by her love for them she let them squeeze her tight

One day when she realised she's been pulled and tugged by snakes

She took a step back to a distance to let the venom drain

What she saw next was her fate to see them kill each other

They let out a hiss to let her know that she's still to be blamed.

PS: I love snakes. They are one of the most beautiful and peaceful creatures in this world (unless you harm them lol).
My use of snakes here is just metaphorical to represent manipulative human beings who we sometimes associate ourselves with, without knowing how twisted they are.
Coming back to reptiles, if I have to choose between snakes and humans, I'm definitely team snakes!
