My Greek Tragedy

Let's not fall in love 

if you can't make the heavens

chant my name 

let's not fall in love 

if we can't make it till that,

cause i'm no demigod

and demons are

not worshipped.

you have dreams, you polish 

I know,

but I have none 

I fear if the death's near 

cause how come someone 

be awake without a dream.

you deserve someone so right 

so full of life,

so full of rights, 

and perfections only a goddess can match.

Am so cracked from within 

the pollutants have seeped in 

and now I can't turn back 

cause moving hearts;

is burdensome.

The Grim Reality:

I loved you,

loved you even when you were 

stitching the pathos in me,

embellishing them with your

golden hands.

I understand your love:

it's superior 

I understand your love: 

it's raw

but somehow it 

clawed my heart raw.

I was born in the dirt,

am soiled,

and once you come in,

there's no way out.

Thus, there will be the 

mirthless classical end:

the love will have 

the silent death.

cause I can't see you perish 

and lose yourself in my ruins.

Epilogue:

you have lost enough 

and I have felt enough.

love for us is a dammed lake 

it's scandalous, offensive 

poisonously deep  

you might drown and die 

with a vague certainty.

not knowing the cause 

of your eternal damnation.

they say the monsters

are born in such murk and filth,

I say, this was the devil's refuge.
