  1. Iftekhar Ahmed, "Ariadne's Laments"

    Oh, Theseus! What would you do?
    If love at first sight of mine wasn’t you,
    And I never got dumb wit and stupid,
    And never gave you sword and string,
    And above all: never trusted you with my heart,
    Would you have died inside the labyrinth?

    What would you do without a sword?
    When the minotaur came thundering on you,
    So what! if you were physical strength,
    So what! if you killed the pasiphae's son,
    If I never gave you my red strings,
    Would you have walked alive out of Daedalus's cage?

    Let's say you walked out of the moving maze,
    Never would have I sailed with you without love,
    Never would have I believed promises of forever,
    If I had known about your dead and decaying heart,
    And if I had never held your accursed hand,
    Would I have ended up on these lonely shores?

    Oh, mighty Theseus! tell me something,
    Had I ever had even an inch in your heart?
    Had I ever truly owned your heart, if for a second?
    or Was I just a means to your victory glory?
    Disowned everything for you, so tell me Theseus,
    If even for a day, did you truly love me for me?

  3. I thought maybe you had a breakup (from the 2 most recent vids) and was trying to encourage you past it. Sorry if I misinterpreted.
