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?
