Sting
My scorpion
Come near
Hold me dear
And sting again
Your poison is so sweet
It tastes of succulent fear
When you kiss me
Venom enters my veins
Leaving me in excruciating pain
Then you scurry away in the dark
And only return to bite again
Someone please hear my cry
Save me from his claws
That pull me close
The ones I desire
Yet the ones I dread
His sting I crave
His poison gives me life
And yet here I stand
With death in my heart
And nothing but fear
Of the one I love so dear
