have fun dancing with death
you say, "it's adam and eve not adam and steve." but what if it were eve and lilith instead? i fell in love with a woman once, and i know you'd disapprove; but she woke in me the dreaming when i thought i was dead- she reminded me that i do matter, that my dreams are to drive me forward not to be forgotten in some abandoned place; she taught me that my scars make me beautiful - she brought forth fires in my soul when there had only been ashes before, a faerie singing songs into my heart i once knew before you shut me away in that haunted dark closet; we were childhood friends but she was my twin flame knew me in ways i thought no one ever could - i loved a woman once, and i love her still; i'm not ashamed to admit that now won't hide in the closet you would nail me into skeletons, spiders, and moths make poor companions as do you - stop seeking me you made your choices, and i've made mine; have fun dancing with death! i choose love, i choose light, i choose rainbows Bio: Linda M.
