Scorpio


When I give,

It doesn't come with strings.

I’m not keeping track

Of what you owe to me.

When I give,

I chose to do so without ulterior.

I give, because 

I’m genuine.

I give, because 

I know what it's like to be without

To long for,

And be ignored,

To speak

And not be heard,

To care for

And have nothing returned.

When I give,

It's because I get it.

It's because I know the

Value in what I have

In my heart, 

And I refuse 

To let the world 

Stop me

From sharing what I can

But when things start being taken

For granted.

When you no longer appreciate

My sincerity.

I won’t switch,

I won't get angry,

And I won't be spiteful.

I’ll just get smart 

And I’ll change your role in my life.

Because when I give,

I’m all in.

But when I’m done,

There's no looking back.

You say, “Don't get close

There are Demons inside.”

Sweetheart, I’ll tell you

“Get close.”

I’ll give you my own.

“Because there's a HELL inside me,

And your Demons can live there.”

But I have my own demons too

I’ll give this truth

Cause

“Some of my Demons have left me,

Some are just asleep.

A few always travel with me, 

Others haunt me inside.

The little ones are charming, 

They're allowed to stay.

The big ones though,

They tear me up

And I wish they'd go away.”

I’ll give you my demons

And tell you this too

You’ll wake every morning

For this gift, I never leave you

I’ll swear its a Scorpio thing

We hate being ignored

So we give and we give

But be smart and forewarned

You fight us you’ll lose 

Because I have three side

Only two you might know

The quiet, sweet one

I wear it wherever I go

The fun crazy side

You’ll barely see

And the side you devise

Would surely meet.

I give you this truth

I know my darkness

It’s a part of me

I can never deny

I do not fear it

Nor am I ashamed

Without it inside

I’d never find my light

To see the real me

I’ll give you loyalty

Till you show me mutiny

Don't lie or I’ll know

How or Why?

Because I’m a Scorpio.
