Temptress Re-Worked

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

Could she ever change from the succubus

We know her to be.



Her all mightiness 

She shone down on you

Not, how you wanted

But with a merciless fury.

Where does it come from?

That one can rise above another,

So easily.

Becoming dictatorial, omnipotent

And threatening.



Who is she?

Other then your worst enemy

How to be free

Of the dark cloud

And the women 

Who is lost

In the domination.
