op. 12 – dark star
op. 12 - to _________, my lament
dark
star
why don on that pitiful mask
of fantastic flairs and glitter?
you were once so beautiful
and made my heart flutter.
the rose:
to do your memory justice
i kept my sorrow
but even that
began to wither
as my love became mortal:
dying
slowly
, i tried to taint my eyes
as to blind myself
but even that
did not hide to me
the wilting of your petals
to nothing:
as the most beautiful star
why do i lament for you?
: that in my heart i doubt
the return of the old you.
