Scorpio

As bewitching as she is lethal,

she is a beauty for the ages,

a haunting vision packed into

a single silver bullet to the head.

Enigmatic and addicting,

you would follow this high

to the ends of the earth,

wherever she ultimately led.

And just when you thought you found her,

just when she was "within your grasp..."

The scorpio queen draws back,

leaving you to guess again.

You see, a scorpion is claustrophobic.

They’d rather die than feel confined.

They’ll take their secrets to the grave,

buried in darkest corner of their mind.

You will never fully know her and,

while in this she claims to take pride,

she knows damn well that it is her curse

and one of the world’s best kept lies.

For she wishes for nothing more

than for a lover to truly know

the unrevealed depths of her heart

and discover what lights up her soul.
