25/Gender Nonconforming I'm a collection of masks and can no longer remember which is my true face
Aphrodite have I done you so wrong That you enamore me in loves somber song Yet leave his holy heart unignited Cursing me with burning affection unrequited Why allow me to be denied Anteros And Eros strike me so cruelly with arrows That I must make Philia to be enough When what I desire fervently is his fleeting love I see now goddess that I you must truly despise For you sent forth Phobos and Deimos to terrorize Until I found my heart to be ragged and maimed Still for their sake I find myself acting as if it's the same

Himeros' Hymn
So now I go free from star-crossed crucifixion A broken heart like broken bones leaves me frail Woe to be crippled by lost loves malediction This torturous pain I try to belie to no avail As if into my chest swords were so cruelly cast A crown of thorns bound tightly round my head My truest heart beats desperate to outlast The purging of loves poison that I had fed But I feel like this sorrow is swiftly killing me Like I'm being pulled and torn from within By Nightmares born from my sweet reverie And devils oh so eager to punish my sin

3 of Swords
I know you're not ready to give the love I ask So just hold me steady and let these moments last Where you are my friend, my hope, my dream The one to send when fear is pulling at my seams And I'll do my best and I'll hold my love Close to my chest and make it enough Until you can share the same love as me Just be right there and I'll believe That if that day can never happen I'll be okay as long as you're my friend

Enough
I know this script may end in tragedy Yet still I play the role that Eros casts Following the fragments of future and past Drawn forth by your entrancing melody I know you come forth on winds of Chaos Yet still I desire to dance in your storm Until our fickle hearts in disdain betray us For a moment let me know your form I know you can't be mine and mine alone Yet still this feeling swirls and swells So be mine for moments carved in stone Moments for which my soul would gladly endure hell

Bargaining
How I dream to be drunk on your kiss To be enraptured by dionysian bliss Free to proceed with unbound desire To let every touch fill with voracious fire Stolen from gods and placed in hands Burning to know your sacred lands To hear your heart beating in your chest To feel your lungs fill with bated breath Your mind your body your soul unveiled Along with the banes and blessings entailed Yet for all my wanting I'm filled with fear If my wish comes to true you'll disappear

Eros
I come to you without pretenses or expectation My truest feelings displayed unbelied On my sleeve my truest heart I wear emblazoned Without posture or playfulness or petty pride What so entangles my mind when you are near Like a crown of flowers or thorns wound round my head Dispelling thought clouding reason subduing fear Enchanted I wander to follow loves sanguine thread Marching toward my star crossed crucifixion Of which I shall gladly endure endless hours For I seek no cure to remedy this sweet affliction And with joyous praise fall to your powers

Confessional
I spend days at a time trying to forget I was his second choice I hate the way he worships Seth with such admiration in his voice A ******* paragon an idol to him an affection I could never attain No matter how hard I try to be equal in his eyes it’s all in vain I love this man more than any other that’s walked into my life Being reminded I’ll always be second best just twists the knife The way he said “When we go to visit him don’t be mad at me” Filled me with rage and pain what else does he expect me to be A man who couldn’t love him back will always mean more to him Than the man who would sacrifice his heart, his life, his limbs

Imbalance
Why do you carry the weight of the world in your hands Do you think that I don’t see or I can’t understand Please just share the weight of the burdens inside my love Is the crown you wear upon your head growing heavy I often fear that it’s weight on you may be deadly Please I beg just let go of your foolish pride my love I know you feel like you must walk this road on your own Don’t you see I am here you don’t have to be alone I will always be their waiting by your side my love

Ancient One
Dark lady of the crossroads 
 Within your storm illusions erode
Stripped clean of our walls we stand 
Skyclad we take thy fiery brand 
A mark upon our brow illuminates 
In our inner darkness we meditate
Guided by your torches we travel
In your labyrinth we quickly unravel 
 We are your children pull us tight
So we may explore the labyrinth this night
