"Knowledge is not knowledge unless you apply that knowledge"


Violet spring flowers sway to this depressing melody,
My heart is filled with never ending woe,
Why, oh why is it so hard to let go?

Tears that fall from Zeus’ flat caress,
My tear-stained face that is full of distress,
What is this hollow sensation I feel?
Am I losing memory, or mind
My soul, like glass, is shattered in two.

Am I drunk on the river of Lethe or drowning in Poseidon’s tide?
My mind is choking as the waves of rejection fill my throat,
Acid and bile is scorching inside of me, this has certainly been a ride,
I now dwell in this opaque and spacious world.

My heart is shattered, but why complain?
Selfishness has woken a monster,
And yet I wonder if this was all planned,
My breaking heart kills me yet again,
When will these chains stop holding me down?

When a coral Belladonna floated down to meet my lips,
I thought I was devoured by raptors,
My pitiful life has been turned backwards.
