The Rose And The Scorpion

The Rose and the Scorpion

by Reality_Hurts

You, beautiful as timeless beauty

As red as blood shed every warfare

As gentle as fine satin cloth

A symbol of love everywhere

But as nothing is perfect

You have another side to your life

Thorns, sharp as needles

Make fingers bleed with strife

And I, as a lone warrior

A poison dart for a tail

Bound with thick plates of armor

A monster from a child's tale

I may look fearsome

But behind this demeanor

I am fragile and small

Only my armor makes me more

And I have fallen for your elegance

Your sweet fragrance and skin

We are opposites in life

But the line between love and hate is thin

Nothing can break us apart

No droughts, no storms, no hardships

Our love is unconditional

Even through turns and flips

You may hurt me with your thorns

I can sting with my dart tail

But through all these struggles

I know our love will never fail
