Songs, Where Demons Tread

“Here With Me” (Song)

Baby

Come
Home

Show me
The way

Every day

I need you
Guiding me

Get inside
My reverie

Because

You need
To see

How much

You mean
To me

In every
Touch

Sparking
Energy

Pure
Ecstacy

Nothing
Before

Compares

To this
Rarity

Got me
Falling

On knees
Begging

But I

Don’t let
You see

Because

I’m a
Queen

No no

You can’t
Get away

With it

Oh no
Baby

I’m so
Into it

Need to
Tell you

Without
Words

Come
Closer

Closer
Still

Until
You know

You know
You know

How much
I want to

Give you
Everything

No more
Hiding

Just
Reviving

In our
Own

Dreamstate
Paradise

Where Demons Tread

Dear Friend,

I just dreamed of you and
You were sharing thoughts

Strange-to-me reasons for
What, why, when & where

It was clear you were driven
& you wanted my agreements

When I understood your intent
It all made much deeper sense

I realized then you were mine &
So began kissing your forehead

Over and over and over again &
Then your face & then your lips

I have always wanted this bliss
Your heart & soul’s redemption

Why the heck did I
Wake up from this?

I am going back to sleep
To try to find you, again!

Where Demons Tread

My Love,

In moments, I ask myself why?

Why have I been so injured by an accident?

And then, why have I been injured, again, by another?

Why am I now so prevented from external physical and mental manifestation in this material plane?

And why am I blocked from making music by calculating these blissful mathematical numerics, which take longer to identify and capture while my brain is on fire and hurting – even in just trying to navigate the simplest beginnings through eyes that can only dream now of how my life could be?

The only answer I can find is that I am supposed to wait for you.

For if I had all of my facilities, I would be wired by now to keep running and launch myself far beyond where you could reach me – so trained have I become in thinking that I must find ways to be content to be alone for the rest of my life – and so afraid, apparently, have I become to allow myself to believe in the truest art of loving again.

Yet, I would search the world, looking for you in every large to small venue and turning over every stone for any trace if I knew for sure that I had the right to – as well as had I the finances to support such a venture, which I lack, and so therefore find myself stuck in place here relegated to being my own restricted lady-in-waiting.

And know that there would be nothing and no one and no thing to stop me seeking for your soul’s truth and shaking it out from you up to the surface to be able to hear you say that you love me and for us to claim our rightful destiny together if I knew that this was what you truly desired and wanted.

If I Were Honest (Song)

By Athena Stairs, December 14, 2025

Baby,

There’d be Hell to pay
For you walking away

You see,

You’ve put a harder load on me
Where our love could set us free

So tell me,

How are you gonna make it up to me?
I don’t need a huge display – just honesty

Stop being hard to get
I am tired of it!

We deserve so much better than this

What’s the excuse?

Too complicated?
Too confused?

Do you think I can’t handle it?

This lock isn’t that hard to tumble
But I need your help to release it

Stop teasing me and
Get right down to business!

There’s a syndrome in the system
And it’s talking about you

There’s a buzz in the listenin’
Sayin’ what we should do

You know they’ve got their hooks in you
I’m wonderin’ what you plan to do?

Because it’s one thing to say what you want
And another thing to do it

One thing to designate
Another thing to prove it

Now I’m not askin’ for bright lights and flashing signals
These have surely already been given

What I’m asking for is for you to be careful

And you can hide your intentions from me all day long
Just as long as we’re on the level

Because the last thing I want
Is for you to lose yourself

Whether to me, to others, or to the world

Yeah, I want you – oh yeah
Can’t hide that fact, anymore

But I don’t want another martyr in you

I want you to come alive
Fired and brand new

Yeah – it’s gonna be messy
And at times we’re both gonna be testy

I really don’t know how to blend our worlds
And I certainly can’t see – from here – a clear view

That’s why I’m asking you
Come be with me

Come talk with me
Freely, openly

About what you’re hoping will be

Surely, if nothing else
We can trust each other

Whether we’re only gonna be friends
Or maybe lovers

I hope to God you’re not on your own out there
And that you have friends you can count on

I wanna add my spark to you
I want us to have a Love Brand New

And if I’m not the one
Hey – I’m sorry I got it wrong

But I coulda sworn you used the words I’d sent to you

And where we are now
Is something of worth, too

Regardless of how we got here
