Craving the tear that slides down your cheek

My sweet Aphrodite’s moon

Goddess of strength who is no stranger to the weak

Hide not behind of what little man can give

It comes from within

An ocean’s stillness

This whispering tide

Seeking to tear me apart

Into shreds upon the hourglass of time

I am his whore

Rented until the veil unfolds

A sweet virgin

Trying to disguise herself amongst wolves whose thrist is never full

Who is she?

This beckoning light

Who cries herself to sleep in the forsaken night

She is the passion of justice

To peace who is naught

Lay me down for my dream has died

Upon the pillow of my lover’s sighs

Laugh upon the mirror that hates my eyes

Searching endlessly

Did you gaze into my cruel waters?

Drinking in my shattered fate

Ruin this temple to find a mold

A puzzle from the beginning of time

Let me tear off my clothes

And show you this naked bone

I am nothing to you that is my all

Leave me here to stand as I continue my fall

Into…

Aphrodite.
