Defying Aphrodite

Defying Aphrodite I died prior the day I lived Suffocated even before I breathe the chants of your heartbeat echoes vanity stating names, which never meant to be He knocks through my window Chase the odds against time embracing the complexities of our beings Tease the possibilities of unknown reality The lavishness of the sweet letters The endurance of proving one's identity Lie if you must, tell no one what it was The fallacy of the circumstances Concealed behind each lines One word, one answer One smile, One laugh Then it's all one hell of a night talking But I knew before it has been spoken Understood before it has been discovered the today is the futility of tomorrow to end is the beginning This is what I want Because this is what to be expected This is what I told you Because this what it should be The truth remains- We cannot own this mystery Yet, I am the one who ended up broken Challenged the chances, but retreated and shamelessly begs for one last time, that if we cannot defy the order, Can we at least change the horizon that in between maybe’s the nameless feelings did exist
