    Tears of Aphrodite

    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.
