Scorpion

I could have called this one addiction too

I 

should have

 known

 better

than

 to get

 too close,

but your

unique 

creature 

beauty

 was intoxicating

and

 i 

couldn't

 resist.

Your

 sting

 was

 sublime

 as

 i felt 

your

 poison

flowing

 through

my veins

taking 

away

 my breath

and 

twisting

my

 brain,

illusions 

of love

as 

my life 

quickly

fades

my

 only 

regret

 is 

that 

I 

couldn't 

do

 it

 all 

over

 again.

Sometimes people just ignore those do not touch signs because we just need to know...
