To Scorpio, from Cancer

"It would be madness...."

To Scorpio, from Cancer

I am not afraid
Of your drama or fears
The depth of your tears
How fast you lash out

We all know that I was
Sent to heal the wounds 
Around me, cover and cool 
The fire that surrounds me

I am not afraid 
Of how loud you live
Heart on your sleeve
Open, sublime transparency

We all know I need
Someone to speak for me, 
Drag me out into the fun,
Help me forget what I once was

I’ve kept away, only afraid
Of my own decay - 
There’s no end inside,
No solid depth to darkness.

How quickly we’d descend into
Ourselves, crash and fall apart - 
It would be madness to 
Ignite a wildfire that large.
