Mnemosyne

I’ve been caught, mesmerized

I’ve been taken by surprise

I forgot that you’re my queen

recognized, romanticized

Mnemosyne

no, you ain’t a bland rerun

you’re my moon, my midnight sun

mark of Cain, my poet’s spleen

all I’ve done will be redone

Mnemosyne

what I loved, idolized

you stole without alibis

unreproved, replay our scene

symbolized, aestheticized

Mnemosyne

no, you ain’t, just anyone

you're my loop, my circle run

right side brain, recurring dream

unbegun, ’til we are done

Mnemosyne

all I wrote, plagiarized

speaks of you in some disguise

quote unquote, «you’re eyes of green»

verbalize my butterflies
