Temptress

Temptress.

How she pointed her demeaning put-down of a finger
How she made thy feel sunken and insignificant 
When she took all power and emotion
To leave thy empty and floating in the wasteland

Her all mightiness 
She shone down on you
Not how you wanted
But with a merciless fury

Who is she?
Other then your worst enemy
