The Snake Around Your Heart

I was so blind to the snake around your heart.
So child like in the morning light you lay.

I kissed your cheek, hugged you and prayed.
A changeling whispered back love you too.

I placed you on the heart strings of my bow.
Shot you out into the star scattered sky.

Forty-Four days and nights to make the boy a man.
God fought a demon, did it in thirty.

I plucked the string I did my part

I was betrayed by you and the snake around your heart.
You cast unholy, this quest we cannot play.

Childhood dies with all its toys left to fray
In red plastic bins and unwanted shoes.

Dark and dust, there are places a heart cannot go.
Spiderling on your dead Mother's web don't cry

Forty-four days and more, like sand
the days slip through my hands so dirty.

Luna Mother Goddess rip out my human heart.

I was cursed by you and the snake around your heart
I have four letter words I can say.

Pray, hope, and love to lay
on the moss covered altars of Feralas too.

Your snake sleeps in Sodom so low.
She shimmers in gold like a flesh sucking fly.

Forty- four days and more, I make my stand.
Cealuem priest I cry out for healing three times thirty

I was deceived by you and the snake around your heart
Oh fallen warrior in the great Forge I will stay.

Refine me Gods through trial I pray.
You think I have not loved your immoral soul too.

I loved and then let you go.
Your snake will eat your heart and say good-bye

Forty-four days and years the wind has blow in my hair strands
Experience I see knowledge in its purity

The minutes of time will do its part.
