Oh, Aphrodite!

Oh, Aphrodite!

How did I wrong you?

I’ve been patient and kind to them,

And yet they’re showering her

With everything I begged for

Like it’s nothing.

Oh, Aphrodite!

How did I wrong you?

Grant me now your sacred grace,

Can you make me more desirable?

I want to make a love story

Lasting more than six pages.

Not a fleeting tale, but a saga grand,

My heart is dense with rage,

I’m fed up with this quick rampage.

Oh, Aphrodite!

Why did you wrong me?

In my dreams every night,

The gods and goddesses are filled with fright,

As I come to burn the Olympus down,

And drown its ashes with my tears.

I want to love

For once,

Without ripping my hair and wishing I were dead

As it ends.

Oh, Aphrodite!

How did I wrong you?
