Dark goddess

The dark goddess does not care that you are hurting

Only that you are feeling deep within

The authentic truth you live inside

Sometimes this being of the dark

Has gifts for you

That hurt to open

But if you do not endure

The severing that happens

As the things that no longer want you

Release you

Then you may just remain

Forever a prisoner here

Safe if so very hungry and tired

Trapped within your illusions

Fusion often may not bring

To your door

The golden thing

Whose truth is often only revealed

Through suffering

And so it pays to become familiar

With the confusing ways

Of the dark Goddess

And not to run

When she calls your name

But bend and burn and grieve

In order to retrieve

The hidden gift

Only revealed

Through deep despair and misery
