Conundrums With Changelings Poem by grace mariner

How hard it is for someone who is larger than life to be so insignificant!
A ghost in the fog.
A black cat passing through the inky night.
A falling star in a star filled sky.
My uncivilized heart aches to be tamed by you.
But your world is so large and complex...there's barely room for another.
But I yearn...
and long for...
and covet what, for now, cannot be mine.
I do wish my heart wasn't so transparent.
It has been my undoing for decades!
Used against me by the treachery of the world...
the evil ones prey on the weak and damaged ones you know!
But I found the One with you.
I've known you for a moment and a lifetime.
The One who never uses my pain...
or my weakness...
or my damage against me.
The One who uses his super powers for good.
And knowing you
my loneliness...
my isolation...
cuts sharper and deeper!
You are only mine for those brief happy, shining moments.
But oh how rich...
and lush...
and decadent those moments are!
So if you ever wonder why I seem to change from moment to moment,
your answer is here.
I battle that dark force that tries to suffocate me.
I cling tenaciously to your light, like a spider clings to the silver threads of her fragile web.
You bring me from the dark.
