My dearest Hadrian,
I swear I loved you till my dying day,
I could have gone during that lion hunt,
But I didn't have it in myself to go with grace.
Don't jump in after me,
Because the battleship will sink beneath the waves,
Murdered by those jealous of our love,
They had to kill me, but it killed you just the same.
You were calling out Antinous to the stars,
While others were cursing my name,
The city you built in my honour was not enough,
Instead, you wished I'd stayed.
You had an obsessive craving for my presence,
And yet you're tossing out the blame,
In moments like this, you used to keep me close,
And now, you're just drunk on the pain.
You took me on your travels,
Turning into your worst fear,
Remember those moments of spiritual, moral and physical exaltation,
But don't go crossing out the good years,
Once upon a time, you saved my life,
And now look at your tears.
Our love was the greatest of our time,
But even the greatest loves of all time are over now.
