Selene, the first of her name<\/p>\n
The first to be blamed<\/p>\n
to go down in history in flames<\/p>\n
The men alter her story<\/p>\n
when they falter in their own glory<\/p>\n
Like many, they paint this Goddess<\/p>\n
with Godless gossip<\/p>\n
and tell the tales of her legacy<\/p>\n
to define her life as heresy<\/p>\n
Selene, the first to be gaslit<\/p>\n
but a society that was male dominant<\/p>\n
where Gods grant you desires<\/p>\n
all the while setting them on fire<\/p>\n
For her love for a mortal was set ablaze<\/p>\n
By the very same who would scorch her name<\/p>\n
Zeus set upon her the love of her life<\/p>\n
And gave me him a choice on how he should die<\/p>\n
The all-knowing knew what would transpire<\/p>\n
As her lover chose to sleep forever by the pyre<\/p>\n
Selene, the first of her name<\/p>\n
forever bounded to her immortal shame<\/p>\n
by Gods and men who marked her with the blame<\/p>\n
because of their jealousies and covetousness<\/p>\n
they tell her tale to be the first succubus<\/p>\n
