Dear bare bodkin

———————————————————————————————————————————————

My dear bare bodkin

Is my friend

My dear bare bodkin

Stays with me; till the end.

.

My dear bare bodkin

Smiles at me with such a charm

Luring me in

Stroking my arm.

.

Keeping me comfort

Keeping me calm

Protecting me from any harm.

.

Keeps me still

Keeps me from ill

Takes away

My power of will.

.

Cause I look at him

And what I see

A new world

Of uncertainty.

.

And he looks at me

And oh what he sees

A new victim

Of his cajolery.

.

And he whispers

With a voice so sweet

– a siren would have to admit sudden defeat –

‘I can take away your pain‘

Oh how he feigns.

.

But he is just so beautiful

And I bring him closer

I should end all this

Tell him it is over.

.

But he begs me to stay

And I can not look away

Never has a kiss of death

Tasted so sweet.

.

How could I not

Admit my sudden defeat?

.

My dear Nymph Ophelia,

Please just promise me:

To keep me alive in all of your memories.
