Dear Ophelia, these lovesick hands
Drunkenly writes to you
As a greeting, as a farewell
As an eulogy of the past memories
And to the future longings
I might have someday soon

I wish to have been kinder
To have tried some more
For you and your delicate life
I kept you away for fear
Of being another bad lover
That treats you like a slave

I reaped a life of anger
Emotions were wrong to share
The child grew with a martyr’s code
I held happiness in a corner
Alone and crying out some tears
For no one and to everyone around

And as you came to me
With open arms and a warm embrace
To go along on this long and narrow road
I drifted, and became withdrawn
Hided myself for a disgrace
I built for us to live

And so merrier times were fewer
The smiles and kisses disappeared
And the songs didn’t came anymore
We aged fast and died too slow
Still don’t know how we lasted
Till the last melody ended

I never asked you for nothing
More than breaking these wall of mine
That kept me isolated from you
But I never forgot your words
And how they rang true
That I was a victim in vain

My lonesome heart wanted to love you
But my fearful mind wanted to be free
From you and your heart full of soul
I don’t want a pardon nor a last dance
But a clean cut ending
Of a tale that deserved to be continued

Dear Ophelia, these lovesick hands
Drunkenly writes to you
For an epilogue that needs to be done
To say I loved you more
Than every bond should ever be
And that I’ll love you till I break every piece of me

I think I knew you during a Renaissance lifetime?!

!! Your work called to mind this kind of song today.

That is a personal tribute, that recalls long lived passion, of the kind that is not quenched easily.
