Gentle Spirit

Love is not always comforting

Gentle spirit

Parasite of my being

What do you seek?

What have I not already given you?

What have you not already taken?

Why do you show yourself again?

I have tried so hard

To keep you from returning

To keep you from defeating me

But I should have known

You would return

Breaking all my barriers

Seeping into my core

Feeding on what is left

What you had not consumed before

 

Gentle spirit

Unfaithful comrade

Why do you betray me?

What have I done to you?

Why must you feed on my solace?

Why can you not let my heart rest?

My heart learned to recover

From the false hopes you brought prior

I had learned to look forward

With my chin held high

With no one to hold it there but me

You have taken my independence

I have become dependent on you

I need to believe in your false hopes

In a false hope of having a hand to hold

 

Gentle spirit

Vengeful adviser

Why do you lead me to emptiness?

Why does your path lead me to sorrow?

Why can I not escape your grasp?

Why can you not let your pupil grow?

You grab me by the throat

And throw me to the ground

Disguised as a rogue Angel

So your true form can come and save me

You exploit my heavy heart

Given to me by God

You use it for your own needs

So that I will always need you

So that you will always have a host
