Trouble stalks me
Finds me in a crowd
As if I were the only
Blue-eyed lion
In a pride.
I am a beacon on the shoals
Of disaster
Misfortune
Adversity
Catastrophe
Hardship.
I attract miscreants
Frauds
Outcasts
Reprobates
Scoundrels
And gnawing rats
I am the flame
You are the moth of Lucifer
You, my love,
Cannot resist.
