A Woman's Plight, Songs, Where Demons Tread

My Darling Rue (Song)

By Athena Stairs, December 6, 2025

Yeah yeah
I know I know

I’m just supposed to
Forget about you

Yeah yeah
I know I know

They say to regret
My love for you

Ok fine whatever
However winds blow

We’ve got plenty of time
As my trauma has shown

Car crash shower slip
Life-threatened power trips

But I’m still a beacon
Harmless to the status quo

Not one of you brave enough
To stand in the light beside me

Only one of you still fighting for
What you were meant to be

Masks and mirrors
Masks and mirrors

My mind keeps spinning flowered heather
My heart holds tight in stormy weather

Excellent birds
Exotic feathers

Mating calls echo empty chambers
Window display of your flitting nature

Perhaps mine hasn’t been born yet
Maybe I’m caught in a time trap

It certainly seems the way of it
As songs compell misled illusions

So Yeah Yeah
I know I know

I’m supposed to
Forget about you

And Yeah Yeah
I know I know

I should regret
My love for you

This pre-encoded patterning
Watch me challenge nattering

Because I’m not going to resent
My soul’s need for love with you

And I’m not going to forget
What we came here to do
