Aphrodite's Tears - Lament For Amberosia
Never intended to cause pain
verklempt knowing my words brought tears
such sadness I wish I could wane
and quell any and all your fears
Tried to build up a pedestal
whence a Goddess - you - can have rule
never fathomed you'd be dismal
now I'm feeling like a fat mule
Could I possibly be so dumb
to think that this could not occur
that result has left me so numb
both my heart and brain can concur
What made me think - at twice your age
that my words would so flatter you
alas, I am no such great mage
the day I wrote those words I rue
Melancholia has begun
I'm not able to raise my face
'til beams shine again from your sun
and I chained in my evil place
