My affection resides within a lady like no other.
She is gracious, truly of a benign essence.
Conveying the purest of kindness and tranquility,
She always vanquishes the sorrows that ravage my heart.
Even if the time we share, lasts for only moments.

Impeccable in her virtue, it seems her beauty has no bounds.
Amongst a necropolis crawling with gloom,
She is the rose that cultivates the wicked with her charm.
Without realizing it, she enlightens their torment with that of serenity.

I’m her admirer from afar, seemingly heart-stricken with her...

My heart, in itself, is a quivering blood clot.
Ravaged by the tragedies brought forth by the ones I held dearest,
That is all that remains.

It was once bountiful, indeed full of pride and tenacity.
It yearned for another weary soul, finding divinity in their embrace.
But, as the ages grew awry, it became evident as to what would surpass.
My heart, my love, fell from grace.

Desolation had engulfed the once joyous core of my being,
And deceit took hold of my conscience.
The betrayal of others had tore out my heart,
Leaving it to decay...
