Canzone Di Rimorso -Song of Remorse-

The symphony that was my heart has dimmed to a cello serenade, a slow and mournful melody, a silhouette of love casting its long shadow over me. I am a singer without a voice, a poet without a muse. A heart without music hardly beats at all and without you, mine beats less and less every day. Send me a song so that I may once again sing. Lend me an ear so that my love song may be heard. O love, love that I have known, is it a sin to ask what I ask of you? You have sat beneath the fall of tears, until nothing was left but a pillar of salt. Therefore count my love unworthy, my knees tremble with the burden of carrying my heavy heart. I can scarcely compete with the warbler who brings song to thee, and yet, because I love you, I conceal the grace to live… still in love… and yet, in vain. ~ Jim Jordan
