The Virgo Rising

The Virgo Rising

​By Lori Lines

​You charge into my life so fierce even though the welcome mat took its time to reach your feet
You bore your passion through my heart
I bled as it burned into my core
You pushed your way past my fear and resistance
Until I gave in and opened myself up to you
You filled me up and carved words into me that spoke of hope and togetherness - "a love that is meant to be"
"The real thing"
"That which songs are inspired"

Our bubble
Joyful, all lit up, deeply fulfilled in its irridescence
I gave myself over and you drank every last drop of me
Our love was so passionate, so sweet, so fierce, so fun, so innocent, yet so real
Beyond my own expectations
Touched in ways I've never known
Yet somehow I remember

You never had your appetite grow as I fed your hunger with every fiber of my being
Gone unnoticed
To know what life brings, no matter what the complications, you letting me go was never a thought in my mind
For we were so strong, so real, when we could feel this wild, crazy, unknown energy from within
From the depth of our hearts and in true form 

Your life spiraled the way it was not intended 
Your brokenness and fearful knots in your heart shielded me
Allowing darkness  to penetrate our light 
Slamming the door
Forgetting love heals everything
Throwing away hope
Choosing martyrdom
Stabbing my heart while I hold the punctures - my fingers covered in our blood
And the blood keeps pouring out no matter what I do

My best friend
My lover
My partner in crime
My baby
My light
Is lost
I'm lost

And then I die.
​
Yet something miraculous 
I see a spark within
I have risen and decide to live
Alone yet connected

I see the dawn
And here I am, transformed again
I walk in the light
I begin anew
​With a bigger love emanating from my being
And all I can think to say is, "Thank you."
