My Greek siren sings to me
Haunting refrains to lure me in
The gods had warned me of devilish beauty
I've been fooled by a delicate harpy
With eyes like emerald green
My Greek siren sings to me
A sonnet, spell-binding harmony
The love of a centaur queen
The gods had warned me of devilish beauty
Adonis cannot compare to thee
A face Medusa can see herin
My Greek siren sings to me
Of a love that can rise above the sea
Strong and bold as a griffin
The gods had warned me of devilish beauty
To the hydra, I will flee
Hades can take my sin
My Greek siren sings to me
The gods had warned me of devilish beauty

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
