El Gran Canon

She is not

lonely

But makes all

who smile upon her

— lonely indeed

She is not

mournful

But makes all 

who implore her

— cry like a child

She is not

boastful

But makes all

who look upon her

— beat on their chests

She is not

faithful

But makes all

who desire her

— pledge from the heart

She is not

vengeful

But to ever 

betray her

— the gravest of sins

She is not

quiet

But from the depths

of her emptiness

— silence is born
