Aphrodite's Take (House Of Night)

Do I even care?

Care for the incorrigible foes,

Leaving the wrong path,

I “change” a tenfold.

A human I had never wanted to be,

I gave up my other self,

For a friend, I was glad to see,

Stevie Rae, you still owe me.

Envisions – my only pride,

Nyx embraced me with gifts and open arms,

I refused her offer - brought anger, hatred and wrath,

But now, I realize it was futile…

I raise my glass to the amazing people I’ve met,

Had they accepted me the way I was,

I bet,

Even the Dark Daughters’ would’ve thrown eggs.

“They” helped me seek love,

Soon after, Darius shoved a clear path for me…

As the sun came up and the snow melted,

I metamorphosis’d to “me.”

For as long as Paris (Darius) and I are together,

No Helen will enter our world,

We’ve promised to keep our bond tight,

Till our hair grays and teeth fall.

I have learnt from my mistakes,

But I still don’t give a damn,

You ought to learn the ‘live life’ and ‘still laid back’ attitude,

From none other than the new Aphrodite – Yes, that’s me.

    

The hatred for Neferet,

Kalona and the untamed beings,

We went through all of it,

You’re the best friend I longed to have, Z.

The night drapes me with her warm, black beauty – I am Aphrodite, and I am moi.
