I lifted the chalice
I Drunk deep
its mellow intoxication took me

I am lifted far away
I am alone
With my own universe

Here i am god
Here i rule completely
This is my place

I remember the cold bite
of the past when i was alone
and not a god

I remember long nights
crying in cold pillows
after a girl i cant be with

And i am god here
in my world again
as light awakes me

Yet i still am me
the hurt the enchanted
Alone as god is still alone

So i turn my back
on my universe
And replace the chalice

What use is a Universe
I ask my myself
If theres noone to share it with

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of  place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Being mortal definitely sucks.

This spoke to my wiccan heart, m'friend.

Walter,
The flower you seek does not grow in the abyss, enjoyed the read.
