Spells For a Loved One

The alter is set
The candles burning bright
Each annointed from base up
For balance
Your photo in my hands
One more look over
The full moon is beckoning
Waiting for my prayer
The wicks burn
The silence thickens
My mouth chants
What words I come to think
Will set you free
But then I stop
Oh so suddenly
And the tears rain down
Like they always do
When I try to think
Of forgetting you
The spell goes on
And I finish my lines
Yet somewhere inside me
A part of me dies
Now your picture burns
Aside the candle wick
And I hope to myself
That this isnt a trick
Long ago I called you to me
And now months later I see
That you were under my spell
And I wish I hadnt
For yor love, was it real?
Or does that even matter?
I loved you enough
To cast my alter twice
Once to bind you
Once to cut the chains
Now I hope my thoughts
Will leave you alone
That somehow you'll
Find your way back home
To the people that love you
And I dont mean me
My spell worked
Too perfectly
Until the day
That you really saw me
Well up until that day
You were truely free
