Siren Song

The lure of love is my bitter bait,
The toll of tears is your final fate.

Come to me, so I can taste your pain,
Stay with me, and I may scar your brain.

Hide from me, for I shall stain your soul,
Run from me, or I might eat you whole.

Your dull despair? Just my short story-
I am your horror...you, my glory!
