"The one I have loved so long
Still carries with her my heart.
But my Passion, Drive, my Lust,
Alas! They, the other's Art!"
That I could bottle these tears,
Make a deadly potion,
Twist the clock and rewind,
Stop my heart in that motion.
Drop that drink from the roof,
Still my voice in that yell,
I could have changed my fate,
Kept my soul from this Hell.
So stuff my heart in that box,
Scream my sorrow in silence;
Give me some time and a half,
I'll be back with a vengeance.
But not the girl from before,
She's dying and gone,
That love that has killed her,
Stripped her soul with a song.
Now darker than midnight,
Deadly as death;
The Mistress, some call me,
In low whispered breath.
'Twas love that has taught me,
In manners efficient,
I'm as good as my past,
I've been well conditioned.
So still my lips and retreat,
Erego your last breath is gone;
The matter of time,
There's none to respond.
