You can be the angel from the coast
Or you can be the mighty beast
But baby I know when you lie
You got me with the best wordplay
I feel like I'm like the rest
A fool spellbound by lust
I've fallen by the curse
Of the amazon of the east

And I've given all that I had
All the treasures and the rhymes
Yeah I've given a thousand verses
To end this trial as a waste of time
I confess that it was close
That I was falling in love
But I got under the curse
Of the amazon of the east

And you cheat your husband
Your lover and the clown
Everybody’s an easy target
To go low and down for a round
Of the easy thrill of lovemaking
That ain’t love but immoral lust
Yeah how many fell for the curse
Of the amazon of the east

And the world you’re in
Everything is cheap, almost free
And I felt like the beggar
Who went down on his knees
Hungry for some affection
For a kiss or a little shaking
Oh I was a mortal with the curse
Of the amazon of the east

And now I’m under the shadows
Waiting for the sun to come
The darkness at the edge of town
Made me go insane
Light me up sunlight
Let me forget her sweet caress
Cure this animal curse
Of the amazon of the east

How sad.. I hope it's not real life stuff, though with you it seems it always is. Moving.

Feels like recognition that a person or situation is riddled with toxicity.

This poem scared me. I was literally panicked. This is a great one!
