How did a love so simple and trusting become a torturous knot of alarm?
How does one swear to protect and cherish, then flee far from harm?
How life beats down the romantic notions that only yesterday knew.
How the dream of forever is a silly notion, like a flower that eternity grew.
How the same dear face that once belonged to a God became blighted,
How your wings fell off and you tumbled from the sky when my passion was unrequited.
How the mighty have fallen to resurrect no more; neither do they weep nor wish.
How did our fiery affair, a cascade of unbridled longing, turn as cold as a fish?
How could a mortal fail to see Ero's arrows laid at his feet?
How is adoration turned aside for trifling pleasures that never taste as sweet?
How, when we are old and feeble, shall we exclaim with anguish: O my heart!
There is no saving thee, for you were handed Heaven, yet you tore it apart.
