Aphrodite, you fickle bitch.
How you love to toy with me.
Leading me down each way
And trustingly I follow.
I open up,
I trust,
I love,
And yet again, you leave me,
Wanting,
Waiting,
Calling on you.
Aphrodite, why do I listen
To your tales of love and happiness?
Why do I let you take me down that path,
The one I've walked many times before?
I know where it leads.
You tell me it will be different this time.
But I know better,
Or I should.
Aphrodite, I curse your name!
Why do you delight in bringing me such misery?
Such pain?
Leave me empty,
Alone,
Hollow.
And yet I trust you once again.
Aphrodite, you fickle bitch.
Tell me I'm wrong this time!
Tell me I'm over reacting!
Things will be different this time?
A happy ending is to follow?
Do I dare trust again?
Open up?
Let love in, once more?
Aphrodite, lead me once more.
For I am foolish, and will follow again.

duddle146about 17 years agoThis Aphrodite female seems to stir up a lot of conflicting emotions. Shouldn't she have been forgotten back a few centuries ago.
LeBrozover 17 years agoYes love ~
Where it's concerned, all sense is fleeting,
Or perhaps just totally illusory.
angelicminxabout 18 years agoI liked it! What was up with the Goddess of Love comment? I thought that was a safe assumption. :D Great work, big hugs and a wish for Aphrodite to stop toying with you. (I assume she has?) ~Minx
Anonymousover 18 years agoDid you mean Aphrodite, Goddess of love or am I the fool of which you speak and this was deliberate? It also occurs to me that it might be a language thing (looking at the poets name)- even so, it's a bit of a stretch.
Keep writing, this was interesting enough to get me to finish reading it.
