My Goddess

Threw you on a pedestal and covered you in silk,

Listened to your every word and absorbed your soul…

Pulled you against me and pressed my lips to yours.

I asked no questions about your claimed purity…

And that was a fault on my part.

 

Now I cannot bring myself to tear your statue down,

Set it on fire and watch the sucker burn to the ground…

I live a gift of thought at your feet and disappear,

Whisper my apologies and leave for the night,

It’s done.

 

When I placed you to the sky, I offered you the stars,

You took them all and set them in your eyes…

And now they sparkle when you look at someone else,

And you’re still on my altar, you’re still

My earth-bound goddess.

 

I know you’re not as human as you were when we met,

When your biggest mistake was a misspelled word…

Now you worry about death and kids…

And you don’t realize, you’re spending your last days

…alone.

 

It breaks my heart to watch you tear yourself down,

I’m not worried, I know who will put you together.

But it kills me from the inside to know

You’re hurting everyone, my shining star

Is dimming out.

 

I can’t watch you forever, I need to move on…

I’ve been earth bound and used the energy of a thousandth sun…

And I have faith that you’ll realize what you’re doing

And you’ll fix it before it’s too late.

But you’re still on my pedestal, still a human goddess.

i reallly like this. she gets her courage to be independent and strong because the narrator gave her the strength by treating her like a goddess. but of course she's moved on and uses the sparkle in her eye to try and seduce everyone else. i like to believe in the idea of love because i think there's two hemispheres in the brain and one is controlled by your other-half. you lead yourself to eachother and you're constantly talking to eachother in your head with what you think is your own voice. yeah, man. true love. i hope the narrator finds his goddess some day and she treats him like a GOD!
