Libretto for an Opera I’m writing, thoughts?
(The story is dis guy’s partners drowns but she comes back as a ghost and they sing to each other until she convinces him to commit suicide lmao.)Â
“Thought through my eyes
signatures of your decease
that I am here to read;
Softly, in the dusk,
you’re speaking to me.
Taking me back,
down the vista of years.
But don’t you see?
how you move like a melody,
violently through my mind,
thought through your ghost.
ah till midnight in rosy glow, in what seems like forever ago; you swell the air - insidiously”
“I sing in a flood of remembrance,
and I weep like a child for the past.”
“come on home!
it started with you!
it started with you!”
“So solace my pain!”
“So solace my isolation!”
“someday...
“I’ll mark you.
It started with you!”
Go harness your blame! “
And walk through…”
“don’t forget that,
It started with you,”
“What might have been lost!”
“What might have been lost!”
“of all that has been true to me
and has remained so Â
would that you remain thus
one more day,
shut your eyes and see!
Join me in perpetuity!”
