Love Is Futile, Love Is Everything

I pull...tear my heartstrings Rip and maul like a wild beast Why, oh why do I do this Why does love never stay I treat love so divine I give the elusive goddess the sweetest creams The ripest fruits and the clearest waters All my longing is hers All my songs and poems and sonnets I write and write and write and yet it is futile How much does this cruel goddess want Aphrodite, I yell, Aphrodite, I scream Aphrodite, I howl, I bark, and cry, and whisper, and croon And I kneel and say, Aphrodite
