i wish i was free like a creature of myths
someone free bold and beautiful like artemis
armed with a bow and silver arrows as cold as the night air yet as soft as a moonbeam
she only loved once whom she shot down fooled by her brother's wits
she strung him up in the sky three beautifully aligned stars is what i find when i look up
her lover's belt.
i wish i was free like her with no worries to tie her down
everyday she does what she loves she knows exactaly who she is
where as i, i stumble through life not doing what i love, not knowing who i am
i'm tied down by aliments to the heart and clots of the mind
worries of tomorrow keep me from restful sleep
but i remember lying in bed those nights and seeing her brightness shine her soft silky beams
sooner or later she'll lull me to much need sleep.
if i find my orion i'm sure i'll kill him too
but the difference is not with an arrow but a much slower death
the torture of being with someone such as i are i believe risky for your heath
i will not go into detail for it's much too long of a list
but just know i didn't want to kill you i didn't know
i thought love was enough but in this world it is not
love is jumbled up anyway it's value isn't want it once was
kids overused it adults misused it.
true love that's so rare.
even with all that said i love you will escape my lips
"i love you" three magical words that fleeted from her pale lips
to be artemis to be free to run with stars twinkling around my feet
would be like a dream.
