Artemis

I gather shadows
To please me
I have lived in the void
All your demons
They feed me
I was raised for your wars

Made of me
Barren wasteland
Turned my words
Into swords
I was lying there bleeding
Didn’t care anymore

Makes me wonder
How you don’t know
That distant thunder
Is me choking on your
Mortal soul

Fleshed these wounds
Did the Temptress
Made my body
Her home
Watch this heart
It’s still bleeding
As she’s making me whole

I am now her Olympus
To this Goddess
A throne
She’s my Rod and my Sceptre
Tamed my lands on her own

I often wonder
What do we know
To love we blunder
Now to keep it
Never let it go
