“The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves. Until there are none. No hopes. Nothing remains.” –Sayuri, Memoirs of a Geisha I bet the Furies are laughing For such misery Fate has made me. Anymore and I’ll do more than pitying, A hopeless case as bad as it’ll be. Maybe it’s all being orchestrated And what’s missing is a cut-off thread. Never a love like this be requited, Oh,throw me by all means, good and dead. No wonder, I’m gluttonous of desire, And here, I’m Cerberus’ best feast. Even as I struggle away from the fire, Well,I’m still caught in the least. Go ahead, feed on my carcass, Likewise, suffer like Fantine. Singing in misery till I pass, Carry me away to a lake with pristine. I wish then to not hear a lull, Let that gentle hand rescue my soul. Now my heart’s safe from hurt or fall, Ready to be given for a better goal. Good riddance from the hands of Eris, But am I really cleared off? Romance,not even found out of Paris, Never mine to be with or to scoff. So until then, I’ll dance alone With an accompaniment of a shamisen, Seeking my love to be requited on the zone Behind a fan and mask smothered by a writer’s pen. Don’t forget in my sleeves, a swan song Is waiting to be released so… Pick what appeases you for long, Be it I’m Not That Girl, No Good Deed, or Let It Go.

Call Me The Modern-day Hera (Put My Heart Away)
“The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves. Until there are none. No hopes. Nothing remains.” –Sayuri, Memoirs of a Geisha I bet the Furies are laughing For such misery Fate has made me. Anymore and I’ll do more than pitying, A hopeless case as bad as it’ll be. Maybe it’s all being orchestrated And what’s missing is a cut-off thread. Never a love like this be requited, Oh,throw me by all means, good and dead. No wonder, I’m gluttonous of desire, And here, I’m Cerberus’ best feast. Even as I struggle away from the fire, Well,I’m still caught in the least. Go ahead, feed on my carcass, Likewise, suffer like Fantine. Singing in misery till I pass, Carry me away to a lake with pristine. I wish then to not hear a lull, Let that gentle hand rescue my soul. Now my heart’s safe from hurt or fall, Ready to be given for a better goal. Good riddance from the hands of Eris, But am I really cleared off? Romance,not even found out of Paris, Never mine to be with or to scoff. So until then, I’ll dance alone With an accompaniment of a shamisen, Seeking my love to be requited on the zone Behind a fan and mask smothered by a writer’s pen. Don’t forget in my sleeves, a swan song Is waiting to be released so… Pick what appeases you for long, Be it I’m Not That Girl, No Good Deed, or Let It Go.
Totally inspired by my muses in literature, especially after watching Memoirs of A Geisha.
