'STING OF THE SCORPION' by LINDA GOODMAN

your icy voice put out the stars
it cracked my heart and broke it in splinters
your tone as cold as Colorado winters...

but i promise to soon forget
the contract we almost made
you'll feel the swift response of an equal
as the dream begins to fade
i'll drown you in pseudo-kindness
and a casual friendly glance
i can almost imagine your blindness as i watch and wait
for the chance
to suddenly- cruelly- let you know
how easy it was to let you go...




the last line was a total killer.... qatil....
