i did not invent the word, and you did not destroy it
by Vikki Owensi thought the line was drawn by you,
and there never was a line i wouldnt cross,
i felt the stars were hung by you,
so i stole them like jewels
stored away for a rainy day.
i thought i invented love,
when i fell in love with you,
when i go, i go all the way,
a deluge: it drenched you, and it drowned me too.
when you left,
i felt you took Me with you,
and left this shell to wander like
a hungry ghost,
but the power that i gave to you,
was the most you'd ever have.
i, myself, conjured all you ever were to be.
now i take my power back, and conjure me.

A Great write! |
