Your Greed For My Soul



If you could paint a path for me
that's dark,
I know you surely would.
But I can be what I was before my fall
Spiraling so far down
God was the only one to pick me up
Set me on higher ground spiritually.

Your greed for my soul
That ache to destroy me
to make you whole
Your prey to feed upon my soul

But softness that I was
The tenderest heart,
You stole that from me
You ripped it to shreds, every part.

Your greed for my soul
to destroy it, to make you whole
Your prey to feed upon, my soul
Deceptive blackness was your whole

The underbridge, that one troll
The wart-ed one that trailed behind
Who drought-ed me, and my soul
bled me drier than I ever be
Sapped my being, drained my mind.
You, that thieving kind.

Your Greed for my soul
to destroy it to make you whole
Your prey to feed upon my soul
Your deceptive blackness, your control.

Angry because I won’t play
Angry because you can’t have your way
I’m not willing, not a willing subject to be
Not into your blaming, shaming, games, that I can’t be.

You can’t destroy me anymore
You can’t take my soul
I’m not your prey to feed upon my soul
I’m not free to have my everything be stole.

Proud you are when someone falls
Jolly is your soulless kind
When hurt, and pain makes its call
To compassion you are blind.

Hatred, your choice, your pick of the day,
You are Satan’s voice,
just because you can’t have your way.

Trust you demand
Lust is your command
Truth, and faith you know no honor
To think of kinds things
you stand in awe, and wonder.

So you greed for my soul
Yes, you do to make you whole
So everything from me had stole
Prey upon the tender, gain your control

Playing with fire that’s what you say
Well where was your wife on that day?
It’s ok for you to lead me to your arms
Take advantage of my pain and others harm
Bring me to succumb to your charms.

If you are safe, and pure of heart
Why did you use me, why didn’t you just part?
Why didn’t you leave, go about your way
Why did you lure me with all the words you had to say?

You knew what I was going through
You knew how I was weak
My heart was struggling things were so bleak
You knew that, you know it’s true.

Was it attention you pursued?
It’s okay for you, but if I do that too
I’m a slut, a whore
Well why didn’t you walk
Why didn’t you leave
right through the door?

You see you can’t destroy me
A willing subject I won’t be
You wanted my tender, and loving heart
You couldn’t destroy it to possess it as your own

That dark path you would paint for me
To possess my soul so you can be whole
Your greed for my soul,
In the name of God will never be!!!!!!!!

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender...Dido

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Terri, it saddens me deeply that many in the world intentionally try to usurp ones heart and swallow ones spirit for self-gratification and greed, my heart goes out to all who are victims to this and can't find the confidence to look away! (sad sigh) God less You, sweet friend, I send angel hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Terri, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

kiddo... The saddest part is it didn't have to be. Not one bit was necessary. Not at all. There lies the why part.
Love,

Terri --

I liked all of it, but particularly the stanzas, like,
"Your Greed for my soul
to destroy it to make you whole
Your prey to feed upon my soul
Your deceptive blackness, your control."
SOOOOO true and more frequent than anyone would wish.  Thanks for your sharing soul.  
BEEEEE well.
