Stone Goddess

Because Kallista requested it, I've posted the poem I wrote on my blog :) I want to thank Octaboona again, for inspiring me to write again

Stone Goddess

She stands there alone
As the sun sets
The light fading
The darkness awakening

She stands there alone
As the waves roar
The blue crashing
The cliffs thrashing

She stands there alone
As the tears flow
The liquid rolling
The diamonds uncontrolling

She stands there alone
As the whispers return
Calling her back
Calling her spirit

She stands there alone
As she ignores the pleas
The mist begging
The cold forgetting

She stands there alone
As the claws come down
Clawing her heart
Clawing her soul

She stands there alone
As she looks at herself
Her broken image
Her broken life

And the mirror cracks
And the beasts play
And they roll in
And they simply say:

"You are our Queen,
Our Goddess, our Light
You ignore us now when we need you
You have done no wrong

Your sadness haunts us
You relish in our pain
We need you now
We need you again!"

Anger flashes
Hot and alive
She moves her frozen hand
She opens her mouth to speak:

"Leave me now!
You disappoint me
You disappear
You forget me

I have done no wrong
I have stood here as stone
Leave me be
Or I will be no more!"

She stands there alone
Now, mere stone
The shadows fade
The darkness falls.
