Sting Of A Scorpio Poem by Anya Garcia

Being in love with a Scorpio is hard to understand.....

What does it feel like to be you?
What does it feel like to know you?

To say you love yet love nothing at all
Blink darling
Sleeping awake
Your spirits beckon you at night
I promise not to hold too tight

A restless soul with a child's heart
you are not mine
you are not mine to keep
Your secrets are quiet
They tiptoe past me

I am lying you to you beloved
when I say I am okay
seemingly you keep on living
What is it like to see through your eyes?
What is it like to watch me rise...
then watch me fall.

Living two worlds apart
Me reaching for your heart
only phantoms there
Do you feel my incredible truth?
I cannot face you

Taste the salt on my lips
an addict of pain
Limersent reactions are all that remains
Compassion darling
Bittersweet
You have stung me with your venom
you treacherous scorpio
into the heart of me

Flowing through my blood
the rush
the high
the agony of tasting your flesh
I crave not to deny

A restless soul with a child's heart
Once you were mine, no longer are
you mine to keep.
Blink darling
strong than me
Time has not allowed what we once had
The beating in my chest whispers for you,
I watch the involuntary actions belonging
to your being
what is like to feel what you are feeling?

A broken woman by life
not fit to be a wife
Burning my throat,
Jack helps me hide.

Loving you since your first smile,
Loving you always
Go away without me
to return on boring sundays
with nothing to do....
So that I can cut my heart out
and give it to you

At last! I know what it's like to feel like you....
