I'm a Goddess

I am a Goddess,

At least that's what she's been told all her life.

Her hips sway with the breezes that follows through the trees,

As the ground kisses her heels as she walked on by.

The sun shines brightly on her ebony hair,

Whispering the secrets to beauty that can't be found anywhere.

I am a Goddess,

She whispers at nigh when the day was done,

 As  the setting sun gives birth to the hateful moon.

It yells out to the dancing shadows that past by her window,

Tell her that her loneness will not end anytime soon.

So she turns into the softness of her cocoon, crying.

I am a Goddess,

She yells into the dark,

Praying to a being that it brings out the light, 

But he must have ignored her,

Because he seems to drag out the night.

I am a Goddess,

And as the night becomes to hard to bare, 

She turns to her love

and hopes that he'll spare

The very thing she needs to become herself again.

But he turns his back on her, leaving her to her demons.

I am a God,

She hears as the door slams in her face,

The river of tears digging through the minerals runs down her cheek,

She cries in this dark place,

He replies

I have no time for mere mortals.

You are a Goddess,

Her words slip and slide into the youths ear,

Her old hair now sprinkled with silver locks,

Eyes filled with peace as her end is near.

Remember my darling,

You are a Goddess.
