When Aphrodite Awakens — Blankpaperz

He awoke the sleeping Aphrodite in you
For years, you have tried to suppress it
Four years, you have tried to tame it
Fourth year, he awoke this sleeper in you.

Now all you can think of is him
The lover in you wants him
Pity—you have loved him more than God
Before him you are free
No façades, just you
But why awake this beast in you if he isn’t ready to stay,
Forever.
