Scorpio

You came out of nowhere, made me laugh.
Opened me up, made tears fall from cold eyes.
You came in, made me warm inside.

Manipulator, beautiful disaster.
Heart burns with persistent desire.
In you I found safe haven, shelter.
Found light I never knew I had in me.
In you I fell and forgot all about the pain I held within my broken soul.
Forgot about the darkness, the sad thoughts.
In you I found something similar to happiness, even though it wasn't always so.

Deceiver, faithless disbeliever.
In you I hid away from the world.
Shared my fears.
With you I felt hope, your words seemed sincere.
So alike, but so different.
So much there, yet there wasn't.
Your sting deep, it can never be forgotten.

I drowned in your ocean, treacherous waves crashed above my head.
I sunk down beneath the deepest of seas.
In you I lost myself.
Became obsessed.
Possessive.
Wanted nothing more than to have you for myself.

In you I found a part of me I had closed off.
Learned I could trust.
Within you all emptiness faded.
Drifted off in the dark.

Love is an illusion. Existing only in the mind.
Great betrayal of my now hardened heart.
I've locked away behind concrete walls.
Let it go, I release you now.
Never really had you.
We were over from the start.
