Goddess

why am i always the girl betrayed

always the after-thought

the second choice

yet never the first

the one to be desired most

i’m wanted by many yet pursued by none

as if i’m not worth more than diamonds

than rubies and gold combined

deserving of the moon and the light she shines

unworthy are they

lead on a trail

to enrichen my hopes

light up my heart

then nothing at all

given so little

crumbs of love as a maybe

or the idea of love

and then nothing in return

the way you treat me is as if you hate yourself

why is that so

told by millions i’m everything

yet forgotten by love affairs

excruciating pain

i’ve put myself through

waiting for a love letter back

for all the love i’ve given in flowers

and more

i’ll never be the girl pursued

just used & abused

then tossed

they must fear me

i’m better off alone

solita in peace

there were never any happy greek goddesses in love

where it ended well 

goddess of war and destruction

that better suits me

my name, my keepsake

what love do i have to give anyway

i’ll burn it all down before they see me cry

begone, you never knew me
