He Never Gave Up
[Verse]
When he reached for you
You would turn his touch away
A shadowed smile... A fleeting shame
You whispered tender lines like borrowed truth
But never once was meaning there
[Prechorus]
For 30 years, I watched your deceit unfold
The cracks... The lies
The promises sold and...
The fake stories you told
[Chorus]
He only saw a ghost in your eyes
Fading...Fading...Fading...
Love Wearing a disguise
Masking your selfish needs
So He’d call me
He'd Text me
"Are you there?" He'd ask.
"Can you talk?" He'd plead.
But that was all
A lifeline tossed to me
before the fall
[Verse 2]
You painted skies with pretty colors oh so fake
Promises made that you'd Just break
Your touch was hard and cold
Your words were shallow and thin
He searched so hard for love you couldn't give
[Prechorus]
I felt the weight...
I heard his sigh...
Through every call
I knew the why
[Chorus]
He only saw a ghost in your eyes
Fading...Fading...Fading...
Love Wearing a disguise
Masking your selfish needs
So He’d call me
He'd Text me
"Are you there?" He'd ask
"Can you talk?" He'd plead.
But that was all
A lifeline tossed to me
before the fall
A lifeline tossed to me
Before the fall.
Yes, I loved him
And he loved me too
But we never gave in
He couldn't give up hope and dreams for you

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.
