Love Lost

The deep, passionate love that felled me Is gone forever. The love I had was forbidden For he was a Slayer; A Lecta's worst enemy. My sisters blame me for All that has happened And I cannot deny it. As master of this coven I am supposed to be strong. Love is what made me fall And I won't fall into it again. "Blessed" love is a curse; One that I cannot afford To have upon me again. I can't help who I am, How my gifts come in, But I can help how my life unfurls. "The four walls that forever encroach Are a cage of your own making." The walls around me are closing in And I am a caged animal; Begging to be set loose. I can't be let out because I am a danger to my coven.
