They say that love can kill
I can tell you it does
This is my second life
And it is getting worse
-----
I met Her on a statue
On screen after screen
Likenesses forever
I encountered the real one
-----
I can’t tell you Her name
It’s a blessing for one
Mortal from time to time
One always passionate
-----
Zeus disavowed the idea
Of His daughter with a man
And a mortal no less
And already half-dying
-----
I persevered within without
Most of the beauty of Her words
Their wisdom struck a teary cord
As I knew anew, I love Her
-----
