The Fall of Aphrodite

[elite867]

Silence, everywhere there is silence.

Why such emptiness?

Why such sorrow?

 

Where has the joy gone?

Once I was loved, I was love

But that time has gone.

 

All around there are regrets

Passion, remorse, joy and pain

What of it? What of pain?

 

Lost in my own reverie,

I cannot escape reality

Its emptiness, its bleakness

 

For once I yearn for yesterday

And I fear for tomorrow

Today, I simply exist.

 

Oh how I've fallen

Down, down, fallen so low

Tired and scared, I have fallen

 

One day I will rise again

I will live again

And I will love again.

 

But not today.
