Lament of my love

Why should fate be so cruel. 

Why should I be bewitched by you

My venus

Why should I love you so

When I know I could only bed 

Another man

You are so lovely 

And I want you forever

But my carnal desire is

Not for the fair sex

I am betrayed by my nature

As I so often have been

And I don’t want to betray you

My love

But I cannot deny

I could never make love to you

Without shameful second thoughts

Sometimes I think my soul was crafted straight out of a Greek tragedy.
