Immortal 
by Ela Lourenco 

Young and reckless

My life so full of possibility

With the passion and reckless

Desires only youth inspires

I dared to dream of something more

I believed I could have it all.

Duped by love,

Beguiled by lust

I failed to see the truth

I thought I could have it all

My once flawless skin

Now dry bark

My flight passions

Rooted still into the soil.

Like Niobe, I can only cry silent tears.

Seasons change, years pass

I exist without living

Eternally haunted, frozen, unloved and alone….
