I am icarus, and you the sun. I yearn for you, while you beg me to run. Your touch burns, and I know I shall soon fall You tell me it’s silly, and to heed father’s call I am Orpheus, and you Eurydice Once more, my downfall is the feelings in me I longed to see, to feel, to embrace But you faded the moment I turned my face I am Pyramus, and you Thisbe. Doomed to love, a mere wall in our way. Taught to hate, thick blood turning green Now apart, deep gashes agleam You are Daphne, and I Apollo From West to East, you’re all I follow But now you’ve left, my love has no target Now you’ve left, and I rue the day we met
