The Lonely Life of a Lunar Witch
Beneath cold night skies is where I find the greatest of comforts
My beloved Goddess the moon my company and protector in the dark
Lighting up the earth dimly with a glow that comes in phases
Energy always changing, moving inside of my body
I keep the lights off so I don't have to see my horrors
Holding my crystals charged with essence of moon
I can drive the feelings of loneliness away for a time
And chant my spells peacefully in the shadows
Walking along moonlit beaches, sand between my toes
The gentle sound of waves crashing ashore filling my ears
The moon's reminder that she is ever present
As I tread through the water, collecting beautiful seashells
My heart beats to the cycle of the moon
It's steady rhythm dictating my followed paths
Hoping for the guidance to avoid those who have harmed
The innocence that has been stripped of my soul
Staring daggers with my eyes into the unknown who walk my way
Kindness has proven only to cause harm to a fragile beauty
Disguising yourself as venomous to strike fear into predators
The way one such as myself has adapted to survive
For I have trusted a many souls with my icy heart before
And received betrayal threefold to each of them
In solitude is the only way I feel truly safe from my demons
Legions of the seen and the unseen chasing me down
But I cast my chants and write hither in runes
That I may create at least one safe place for me
It's barriers receiving a neverending bashing
So that it must always be renewed under the full moon
Broken is myself to let another in, to let another hold me
Daymares of my past that only vanish under a lunar blanket
Perhaps one day I shall find another to slowly heal my wounded spirit
Until then, the moon above is my one true love
