I sought you out
You looked like you belong with me
Those eyes peering through my skin
Piercing my inner soul
How did you know?
It was so long ago
I sought you out
You looked like you belonged
To the gods
A profile so chiseled
Lips of a painful scar
A scar you earned
While fighting for me
Every chance you get
You need to wrap yourself
Amidst my gifts
Having to let them go amongst
Prying eyes
I sought you out
You look like you belong to me

You won't love anymore
Never traveling to my shores
A spirit lost on an island alone
Feeling winds of sad through my bones
Touching the sand to feel your heart
Only to have the waves crash it apart
Give me strength to bare this sun
From the glare of your eyes, I have run
Eating from the bare trees of fruit
You gave me no absolutes
No promises of your treasure map
So here I stay, alone in this trap
I may perish like a starved dove
For I don't have long, find me my love

I don't have long you see
Needing to make a possibility
Out of you and me
But it seems we are heading towards
Tragedy
I cannot be free
Unless you set me
Let me out of my cage
This bird needs to fly
Dying inside I am
I need alive to be
I don't have long you see

There is three, a trio of sorts
That gives me what I need
For each of the ways I bleed
Sometimes it's my soul
My beating heart
My plagued mind
They all love my sculpted body
But none can I keep
They are all forbidden to me
Belonging to some
Or belonging to none
Too old
Or too young
I will forever be alone in my being
I am merely a fascade
Only to look at with craving eyes
And sensual thoughts
Sultry words spoken
What became of her?
With her raven hair
And marble flesh
Dark woven gown
She glides amongst the luminaries
Seeing who is free
To be with her
Until time to sleep
Who is she?
She is me
Aphrodite

I don't have long
Trying to win your love
She wants you more
You want me to my core
I know you do
A triangle of mess
The passion in your pools
Make me a fool
A smile that could be wicked
It tears my calmness to shreds
When I see the glint in your eye
The hint in the arch of your brow
Needing those full lips on mine
And they will belong to me
Please give them to me
I am your Aphrodite
