the scent of you

The truth is, that sometimes the only way you can keep loving a person is to let them go.

I could have stayed until resentment sickened me.

I could have strained to keep you until I wore my heart weary.

We could have been together, but apart.

Or perhaps we could have been better... loved better. but no, i doubted...

So it's over

while I can still smile at the scent of you in my bedsheets.

Telepathic message to the God

to each
i have given a cup

some crystal
some clay

all empty
none could fill

the great riddle of loving me
they were such small things

perhaps they were cracked
but it no longer matters

to You
i will bring the jeweled chalice

the grail that i am searching for
inside of myself

it overflows

prove yourself
and you may touch

love me
and you may drink

honor the Goddess
and i will bathe you in sweet, soft water

dry your skin with my hair
and invite you to dip in the well

and if you do not exist
my cups will still be full
