Qualms of a teacher

You came to us in foreshadowing brilliance. Were you really send by Her? I do not believe so, She is not that cruel. This is not the life for you.

Don’t speak those words, vows are treacherous.
Don’t close your eyes, the world is too beautiful to waste in prayer.
Don’t go there, no child should play among the deepest darkness and most brilliant light.

You shouldn’t have been there. Why spill your blood this willingly? You put too much faith in him, don’t trust it to work another time. The war is not yet over.

Don’t speak those words, you don’t know what you’re saying.
Don’t close your eyes, we need to see the hope that dwells within them.
Don’t go there, the light has blinded you.

You have seen too much. Why not cry in your mothers lap? It is a child’s prerogative, to run away and cry. It was not your fault.

Don’t speak those words, it won’t bring her back.
Don’t close your eyes, you won’t see her.
Don’t go there, shadows follow your footsteps.

You now belong to the Goddess. Do you know that he loves you? I warned you, you are too kind. You are not strong enough to take it all inside.

Don’t speak those words, their burdens are not yours.
Don’t close your eyes, you’ll see their demons.
Don’t go there, your light is not as strong anymore.

You took the right decision. Why are you not with them? They do not want you as priestess, but as mother and wife. She is happy for you.

Don’t speak those words, you preach too much.
Don’t close your eyes, savor these moments.
Don’t go there, it’s their love that keeps you from the darkness.

You are finally running away. Was she all that remained? Bear her loss, as you did that of the others. You are not as alone as you think.

Don’t speak those words, they’ll be lost in the desert winds.
Don’t close your eyes, let your tears blur your vision.
Don’t go there, you won’t find any light.

You pulled yourself together. Will it be different this time? These solemn gravestones hold no grudge, enjoy your new life. It’s all right to smile.

Don’t speak those words, She does not feel abandoned.
Don’t close your eyes, see how much they love you.
Don’t go there, your shadow is still too dark.

You have fallen apart. Do you know I found their bodies? It took me many lunations to find you, and what I found wasn’t you. I understand why you gave up.

Don’t speak those words, She still loves you.
Don’t close your eyes, face what you’ve become.
Don’t go there, you don’t want a New Moon to rise.

You shouldn’t have said those words…
You shouldn’t have closed your eyes…
You shouldn’t have went there…

But you did.
