| I was alone in the Darkness,and I grew hungry.I was alone in the Darkness and I grew cold.I was alone in the Darkness and I cried.Then there came to me a sweet voice,a honey voice.Words of succor,words of surcease.A woman,dark and lovely,with eyes that pierced the Darkness came to me."I know your story,Caine of Nod," She said to me. "You are hungry,come!I have food.You are cold,come!I have clothes.You are sad,come!I have comfort." "Who would comfort one so Cursed as I?Who would clothe me?Who would feed me?" "I am your Father's first wife,who disagreed with the One Above and gained freedom in the Darkness.I am Lilith.Once,I was cold,and there was no warmth for me.Once,I was hungry,and there was no food for me.Once,I was sad,and there was no comfort for me." She took me in,she fed me,she clothed me.In her arms,I found comfort.I cried until blood trickled from my eyes,and she kissed them away. |
