Aphrodite's Misdeeds
I hate your misdeeds, Aphrodite
I curse your name from here to infinity
I loathe how your creation creates misery
Turmoil within this temporal vessel
Muggles, beware!
The cupid’s arrows are laced with infatuation
So when it strikes your loving organ
You will see mirages of a happily-ever-after
That will soon be a Never-ever-after
There is no art in how daggered hearts crumble
Nor the death of shattered souls being viewed by loved ones
Mourning cascades crooning an obituary
“Here lies a fool beckoned by Aphrodite”
How much longer must we endure your crimes
Before you pay for your sins
Or are Gods too holy to atone for their darkness
And when love comes kneeling in desperation
Seeking for an invitation in your life
Please ask her…
Please ask her…
Ask her, where did she bury Romeo’s body
Ask her if Juliet had fun following in his footsteps
Ask her if ‘Crazy in Love’ was playing in the playground when Othello choked the life out of his beloved
Please ask her whether Gatsby’s fated fatal bullet wound burnt out of Daisy’s fondness
See, Love has never been kind to foolish souls, soldiers
For too many times we have died on her battlefield
Words of your friends act as feathers of Osiris
Reviving orphaned feelings only for them to be slaughtered
Again.
There is no joy in this venture
So, stop being a martyr of a lost cause
Disciple of a twisted belief
And please
For the love of God, please.
Don’t liken love with God
For love is a religion
And I ain’t a believer
So forgive me for hesitating to step into church
Sometimes, you just got to accept some facts.
Love was never meant for muggles like me
I’m too hollow to follow the broken beat of this organ
I beg of you
Plead with you
Donate the scarred remains of what used to be my heart
To a dead carcass nearby
It has more use for it than I
Purge its meanings from my existence
So, when my supposed wife comes knocking at my door
Tell her my spirit is vacant
Whenever she tries to call me her soul mate
I hate your misdeeds, Aphrodite
I curse your name from here to infinity
I loathe how your creation creates misery
Turmoil within this temporal vessel
Muggles, beware!
