Your images caught the insidious truth of this bane of human interaction - HYPOCRISY. What makes hypocrisy so destructive is that it preys on the other person's good faith, their sincerity, their gratitude for what seems be be a gift of true affection but is really only manipulation. Your images - HONEY-SWEET TONGUE, VENOMOUS EYE, PERFIDIOUS COIL - tell the whole story, from why we are vulnerable, how we miss warning signals, and how we are injured. It's all there in your haiku - the human drama played out again and again captured in just three dramatic lines. Such a compressed vision of something that looms so large in our lives. Your poem sends shivers down my spine!
