superstitions

by Beth - Scorpio

Counting every tear drop
that I have ever cried
i could compare the down pour
to all the times you've lied

Feeling so very empty
so hollow, just a shell
Never knowing , always hoping
that I can escape this hell

I could slip right through your fingers
I could fall right through the cracks
I wonder, would you miss me
Would you die to bring me back?

Feel like I've shattered every mirror
That this world has shown to me
cannot seem to break this "bad luck"
that dogs me relentlessly

Have I walked under every ladder
Left standing in the street
And have I croosed the path
 of every black cat I did meet?

Did I speak aloud the name
of the Shakespear play so cursed?
Will this nightmare ever end
Or will it just keep getting worse?

How much longer must I suffer
my own pity shames my soul
lost at the cross roads, 
Hecate won't show me the way home.

So I guess that I'll keep counting tear drops
And I'll keep on believing all your lies
I know that one day my luck will have to change
It's only my superstitions that keep me alive.....
