Meeting

Meeting

Bloody mouth
Wretched claws
Swirling hair
Gray and of snakes.
Hounds of Hell
Baying, crying.
Crows screeching,
Cawing, flying.
Bloody hands
Fiery eyes
Darkness enveloping
As I meet Hekate.

O Lady

O Lady

Brigid, o Lady of the Hearth,
Of Smithery, and word as art,
We call to You on Imbolc night
To bestow us with Thy sacred light.
Brigid, o Lady of the Wells
Of milkmaids, nuns and the ill,
We call to you on Candlemas Eve
And hear the voices of the Sidhe.
Brigid, o Lady of the Flame
Of healers, and bards who remain,
We call to You on Omeilc night
To light Thy holy flame so bright.

Wrong

You've been with him
For so, so long
And you have to wonder
Where everything went wrong.

He only wants what
You can't give
And with those demands
It's no way to live.

Your faith is yours
And it keeps you strong
Remember to keep it
Even when things feel so wrong.

He refuses to give in
There isn't one fight
That you can win.
Don't you see it's not right?

You've been with him
For so, so long
And you have to wonder
Where everything went wrong.

The love lasted
For nearly three years
But for the past two
He feeds your guilt and fears.

Without a friendship
A love can't last
Maybe you should leave
This love in the past.

But the fear is consuming
It makes you lose your resolve
But this isn't a problem
That only sex can solve.

You've been with him
For so, so long
And you have to wonder
Where everything went wrong.

Left

Being with you
Makes me die inside
And I can't live
If all I do is cry.

But being without you
Scares me to death
I'm afraid if I leave
I'll have nothing left.

I was so certain
For so many years
But the uneasiness is starting
Growing with my tears.

Being with you
Has been my life
But now I have to wonder
Do I really want to be your wife?

But being without you
Scares me to death
I'm afraid if I leave
I'll have nothing left.

But...

We scream, but no one hears,
Because silence is deafening.
We cry but no one cares,
Because empathy is threatening.
We ask, but no one knows,
Because knowledge is frightening.
We die, so they see,
Because death is enlightening.
