my color is Red
says the star Antares
scorpio stings one thousand deaths
leaving a breathless body
to rot in the desert
her eyes see through you
her eyes fill your soul with fear
she holds her composure
this is really the true light in her
they think it’s dangerous
it’s her only protection
from the raging sea
the storm forms a swell,
that sucks the anger from within
when she opens her eyes
her star is shining
brighter than the sun
Antares looks over her
like a protector
with a shield
the battle is over
the sting subsides
her color is still Red
and the bitch within
can finally breathe
