The Anemone

blame me not if I tear my clothes
for your reproach only increases the pain of love

the error of my ways has blackened my soul
and destiny has sentenced me to a bitter end

those who see me admire me but alas!
my Creator knows I am but a hypocrite

outwardly I am beauty itself
but a dreadful calamity has consumed my innermost

shame when I step foward for the questioning
alas, I will have no answer but disgrace

Oh, if you were to unveil my baseness
you would see joy reflected on the face of my enemy!
