As honey: desire is poured upon your lovely face

Aphrodite has honored you exceedingly.-

The stars are dim compared to the diamonds that sparkle in your eyes.

The sun is unbearably cold without the warmth of your laughter.

Spring and her flowers envy the blossom of your smile between your delightful lips.

In my world, your beauty eclipses all else.

-Know this.

From every care.

You could release me.-

I wake with a hunger for you that cannot be satiated.

My sleep is filled with the restlessness that plagues me like your absence from my bed.

Each breath is labored as I swim against the current to find my way back to you.

In the mess of my mind, my devotion to you is the only thing that’s true.

Set me free.

Come back to me.

-Come to me now: loose me from hard care and all my heart longs to accomplish, accomplish. You be my ally.-

You torture me in ways you can’t even fathom.

And yet, I cling to the hope of your love like it’s my last shred of humanity.

Please don’t let me languish much longer, or there might not be much left of me.

-Sweet Aphrodite has overcome me with longing for a girl.-

The first time I saw you, everything else in the world was cursed to pale in comparison.

Through the years you’ve only become more beautiful, leaving the world a dark and dismal place.

What do I do, then, if you won’t be with me?

Do I carve my own eyes out, or do I watch you hopelessly from here until my final breath?

-Never more damaging O Eirana have I encountered you-

My patience strains, my need yawning wide, tearing me to shreds.
