tragic prodigy

You have the Florentine beauty of the soul,

with pale fingers as if made of snow,
you play nocturne farewell melody
on my ribs as if they were a harp.

and your renaissance soul 
will conquer this simple one of mine,
and it will not remain of me
nothing but an outline in your past 
that will complete your Shakespearean tragedy.

A picturesque depiction 
of self-destruction, 
after capitulating to beauty.
