My name, though shadowed and scorned, is true,
Upon every lip, a whispered hue.
My name, though infamous, a mark,
On every tongue, a lingering spark.

The world does swoon for beauty's art,
My love's renown, a beating heart.
My love's renown, a common tale,
My name, though stained, will never fail.
Upon every lip, my essence stays.

The hues of spring, a vibrant show,
The hues of spring, come, and then go.
They bloom in bud and petal bright,
Yet revelry is the world's delight.
Love is found within my streets,
Each night a joy, each dawn it greets.
Each dawn with showers, a colored gleam,
My every evening, a vibrant dream.
My every evening, it streams.
My name, though shadowed and scorned, is true,
Upon every lip, a whispered hue.
Upon every lip, the whispers accrue.

To smolder deep, in breath and sigh,
To smolder deep, as moments fly,
In pain and sorrow, burn and weep,
To burn and weep, while shadows sleep.
To live in this world, a poisoned draught,
Thus poison drinks, as if we're all daft.
And poison drinks, in any way,
But in this poison, rest and stay.
But in this poison, solace lies.
My name, though shadowed and scorned, is true,
Upon every lip, a whispered hue.
