Leo

By Abba Marie Moreno

(A version of ‘Aquarius’ by Regina Spektor)

 

Dear someone listening in the shadows,

I only talk to you sometimes

And though I ask for help in riddles

It is clearer in my mind,

Clearer in my mind.

 

Born of a sign that roars in fire,

But in a month that’s always silent.

I know I don’t question things too quickly,

But I’ve always questioned if I’ve loved,

Loved.

 

Dear someone watching from the shadows,

I’m hunting down my dreams.

I’ve held my chin up high and proud,

But there is something that’s amiss,

Something that’s amiss.

 

Born of a sign that roars in fire,

But in a month that whispers silence.

And though I don’t question things too quickly,

I’ve always wondered if I’ve loved,

Wondered if I’ve loved.

 

Dear someone watching in the shadows,

You’ve seen me roar alone once more,

I’m not the gentlest of all creatures,

Because there’s something I’m fighting for,

Someone I’m fighting for.

 

Born of a sign that roars of pride,

But in a month that whispers silence.

I’m not the gentlest of all creatures,

But I’ll be tamed by only love.

I’m not the gentlest of all creatures,

But I’ll be tamed by only love,

Tamed by only love,

Love.
