Death of a Goddess

A poem from inspiration used by old notes and writings

The light bounces around her body

luring in those most easily distracted

Her golden caress, effortlessly she carries herself

one would love to reach out and embrace 

but would find nothing left but a nub

Her beauty her curse, her desirability a zero

for no one wanted something they could never have

and cast her to the ocean of emptiness

It wasn't meant to be she told herself again

and feeling pain for the first time she held on

the suffering wont last much longer

they defamed and diminished her for the last time

the sun will not rise now that she has drowned in the seas

[Skylah Ginette]

Ooo I like this, especially the last line! And the idea that "no one wanted something they could never have" is so sad but I love it.

A breathy sigh emerges from my mouth,
thy poems work wonders. :D
