My Artemisia
Several of you have been posting very moving and (dis)comforting poetry and lyrics, lately.
I have decided to pull another one out of the vault. Even though it's from a different time and situation in my life, I think it's one of my best. Like with most of my others, I don't have music for this yet, but it is intended as lyrics.
======================
My Artemisia 3/17/00 Chris whY (C)whY2K
I knew when you were with me
that one day you'd kill me
or if I was lucky
we'd go our seperate ways
now that I'm without you
everywhere still I see you
and with my best friends, no less
no way can I have you
for me it would be deadly
to slip again into your embrace
no way can i let you seduce me
try as you might, I need to stay alive awhile
like vibrant green pools of light before me
cloudy in just the right way
I still remember your glasses
the stinging bittersweet touch
that always led to hours of bliss
that loving promise of warmth within
your velvet darkness so seductive
nights melted in your embrace
though my every alarm bell was ringing
I let you burn me from within
why must you always be there
just barely out of reach
your deadly promise always stands
and forever you'll be near me
perhaps again some summer's night
I'll taste your bitter kisses
I'll share you with a friend
but he'll have to take you with him, when he goes
if I love you again everything is lost
