Intoxicating

She knew the power that she possessed.

Born under the moonlight, the stars wailed in her distress.

She was intoxicating, no human could resist her charm.

She knew this, and with her power, she caused people harm.

She was the worst drugs all combined into one.

And once you took her in, she seemed lots of fun.

That’s when her games began to pull you in,

But this game, she knew you could never win.

She was beauty, beyond anything of this earth,

She was sin in all definitions of the word.

She was a deity, sent by Aphrodite,

Here to trick us, to punish me.

She’s the queen of broken hearts.

With a crown made of past lovers tears.

She’s a heartbreaker, a good one at that.

With a heart made of stone, and skin made of glass.

Deep down she’s just as broken,

But she doesn’t realise it.

Her ability to love has been lost in time,

So she insteads focuses on on taking others people’s love and calling it mine.
