The Goddess Trapped Inside

The Goddess Trapped Inside

A Poem by Gabrielle E. M. T.
"

I wrote this for my ex, but unfortunately he didn't read it until after he broke my heart. Thie poem/stroy has a lot of meaning about us, both Literal and Metaphoric. One of my deepest poems. Enjoy.

"

A woman trapped inside a girl so young.

Her age and heart are wisely sung.

 

 

Her body stays the same but in her eyes you can see her age.

The woman inside her soul is trapped in her bodily cage.

 

 

Radiant as the sun is her long, soft hair.
Smooth and snowy white skin, so soft and fair.

 

 

She glows like the beams of a full moon.

Her voice like a slow, soothing, lullaby tune.

 

 

Her eyes are crystal blue and deep.

Tears of diamonds streams down her face when she weeps.

 

 

Her heart will age, but change, not her size.

Her body forever small, but her mind always wise.

 

 

She has a mind that is mature and old.

A heart that is young and as pure as gold.

 

 

She is angelic but not exactly good.

Her life is often dark and hidden under her hood.

 

 

She is dark, but not quite bad.

Her life tends to be mournful and sad.

 

 

She has a halo of stars around her head.

But if you stare in her eyes they may appear red.

 

 

She is a goddess, divine and pure.

Her soft and healing touch, any disease it can cure.

 

 

Her body is so perfect and without flaw.

Her soul is love, and that is her only law.

 

 

Her goal in life is to find her one and only.

She doesn’t want to die old and lonely.

 

 

She has gone through life, through it’s hurts and pains.

She will never stop till love is what she gains.

 

 

Finally one mysterious and magical night,

She had at last found the man that was right.

 

 

He didn’t treat her like a girl but the woman she was.

Because loving and caring for her is all that he does.

 

 

He loved every bit of her, her heart, body , and soul.

Living and loving her forever and always had become his goal.

 

 

He worshipped her body and gave her praise.

He loved her with all that he could for the rest of his days.

 

 

She gave him her whole self and loved him with all she could.

They loved each other from the start and promised they always would.

 

 

He was the half that made her whole.

She had finally thought that she had fulfilled her life’s goal.

 

 

But this wasn’t true, there was more to her curse.

Something would happen that would make things much worse.

 

 

Because for her to stay both human and immortal she must bear.

And this is where the darkness rips this perfect pair.

 

 

She wasn’t quite the woman she thought herself to be.

To be an earthly woman she would have to reproduce, that is key.

 

 

So they tried and failed, and in doing so that was a sin.

The purpose of him entering her would be to have their kin.

 

 

They had no child so she became tainted and impure.

She now had lost her divinity and immortality for sure.

 

 

She then became human and mortal for the rest of her life.

She now had to avoid all of the evil, bullet and knife.

 

 

Inside her stomach grew not a baby but a disease of pain.

On that day there were terrible storms of lightning, hail, and rain.

 

 

She had lost her powers, so she couldn’t help the ill.

For her there was no cure, shot nor pill.

 

 

Her perfect body became weak and frail.

And over her life spread a dark and evil veil.

 

 

She laid there dying on their soft, warm bed.

She knew it wouldn’t be long until her body would be dead.

 

 

He held her and kissed her softly till the end.

Her broken and lonely heart, he had with love, already mend.

 

 

With her last breath she whispered softly “I love you”.

As a tear rolled down his cheek he bent down and whispered back “I love you too”.

 

 

She smiled softly and then closed her eyes.

In her loving man’s arms is where she finally dies.

 

 

The man knew she was immortal, not her body but her soul.

And to be with her again in the after life was now his goal.

 

 

Even though her body died her love for him lived on.

He loved her as much as he did even after she was gone.

 

 

Their love was perfect, destined to transcend.

But as for this poem, this is The End.

Hurray for my wickedly awesome God-daughter! Oh my goodness. This was completely awesome. No joking. Truly a great read. It read like an epic poem. A fairytale gone horribly wrong. A very wistful and longing tone. Good rhyme and very free flow. I've read some of your stuff before but this is unbelivable. Really great job, sweetie. I'm so proud of you! I'm going to send this to a few friends to check out 'cause I'm cool like that! ;)

So Crystal sent me a read request for this story and boy am I glad she did :D

Wow, what an incredibly lovely poem. Such a beautiful story of love. You've described the goddess so she comes to life for those of us reading about her. As sad as the ending was I've got to say that it's my favorite part. The way she died in his arms as they affirmed their love for each other and the way he still felt her love living on after she'd gone. There's a hopefulness there in the fact that he knows he will join her again in the after life.
"Their love was perfect, destined to transcend"
This is my favorite line of the poem and I truly believe it for the goddess and her man. Thanks for sharing this with us all, it was truly a pleasure to read.
