Selene, the first of her name

The first to be blamed

to go down in history in flames

The men alter her story

when they falter in their own glory

Like many, they paint this Goddess

with Godless gossip

and tell the tales of her legacy

to define her life as heresy

Selene, the first to be gaslit

but a society that was male dominant

where Gods grant you desires

all the while setting them on fire

For her love for a mortal was set ablaze

By the very same who would scorch her name

Zeus set upon her the love of her life

And gave me him a choice on how he should die

The all-knowing knew what would transpire

As her lover chose to sleep forever by the pyre

Selene, the first of her name

forever bounded to her immortal shame

by Gods and men who marked her with the blame

because of their jealousies and covetousness

they tell her tale to be the first succubus
