Hermes
I’m just the messenger
Fate crossed our paths for a reason
It wasn’t for me
I’m immortal, I know the answers already
It was for you
All of it was for you
God heard your prayers
I was your answer
No I’m not your soul mate
I’m the one who was sent
To prep you, prepare you
For his arrival
I’m forbidden from having Love with a mortal
It will always be ripped away from me
Dare I try to have Love with the living
I am condemned to the role of the messenger
You were afraid of the world
Your reflection in the mirror
A long list of bad illusions
Only taking you further from happiness
God has had enough of watching you suffer
I was sent to give you strength
Courage, happiness…Love
To jump start your Heart
So that you’ll be ready for your Soul mate
When I’m done giving you the knowledge you need
You won’t need me anymore
You won’t want me anymore
And I will fade way
Like a Dream when you wake
I’ll always be in your Dreams
When you need me
I gave you a gift
A piece of me forever
Don’t waste my memory
Use that piece of me
For strength, confidence, companionship
You’re stronger than you realize
Now its my way to show you the light
Good you’re seeing
Cause I’m fading
Maybe I gave to too much
An aggressive jump start for your Heart
But you’re Alive again
You’re seeing the world through new eyes
Seeing things in color again
I’m a shitty messenger
Sometimes I get too close to mortals
Sometimes I think I’m living
Act human
And I get put back in my place
One tear at a time
Being the son of Zeus
Has its strings attached
I rebel in protest
One prank at a time
My punishment is being the messenger
The key to the door
Not between worlds
Between Hearts
I take Hearts down the path they’re supposed to be on
I protect the righteous Hearts path
Cupids my ass
It’s my damn curse
To give others what I can’t have
I mend Hearts
Show them the way
Pair them with their other half
But me
I had Love once, even kids
Her name was Peitho
But father did not approve
And alas
Here I arrive as the messenger
I can give you everything but forever
Realize I’m not real in this world
I’m just a Dream here
It’s the only way you’ll see, you’ll trust
Is through a Dream, an immortal
Mortal men couldn’t earn your trust
Couldn’t fix you
Or show you the way
So you were sent “the messenger”
Me
