“Cleopatra”
by ER Salo Deguierre
Where did our love go?
You took it away
Where did your heart go?
It changes every day
When you’re young you’re like a flower
Your heart blooms with every rose
Scarlet letter at her bosom
And she blushed when it would show
Come on baby let me read my poem again
Read my letter if you don’t have the time
We played like children and you were my only friend
Come on baby let me read my poem again
Where did our love go?
Thrown into the sea
Where did her heart go?
The asp she loved instead of me
She’s the kind who’d eat her diamonds
And swallow her own pearls
Just to make a young man’s heart race
Cause she’s not like other girls
Come on baby let me read my poem again
Read my letter if you don’t have the time
The asp has bit her and she needs it like a friend
Come on baby let me read my poem again
Where did our love go?
Suicide and wine
From lips to lips are splashing
Like a kiss and kiss in kind
If all the world is evil
And everyone is mean
Then we’ll meet again in heaven
One that only children see
Come on baby let me read my poem again
Read my letter if you don’t have the time
The snake has bit her and she loves him to the end
Come on baby let me read my poem again
Beauty is Imperfection
