Aletta:
You only see me when I'm gone,
Obscenities and dirt dishonoring my name,
That make you dive into the depths of shame,
Are now reflected in my skin’s pale tone.
Around my neck I tied an ephemeral veil
And heard my mother telling me a tale
Of wizards who escaped from crystal jail.
I felt my tears turn into velvet sand.
Its tenderness caressed my face
And whispered names I failed to understand.
How long will you stay on your knees?
Apologies, indulgence, withered trees,
There’s nothing else. You've missed the boat.
The blood is running down my throat.
Aletta's husband:
Aletta, dear,
I fear the hollow.
Lasciviousness to heal the sorrow
And robbery to clear the borrow
Do not infer I’m insincere.
I'm deeply sorry it’s too late,
My words are dust
and worth no trust,
I can do nothing but frustrate.
Forgive me dear,
Your soul be blessed.
I'd like the fortune you possessed.
Aletta's father:
Aletta? Who? My daughter? No.
I’ve never had a chance to see her grow.
For me it all is just a witless show.
Alea iacta est, it's done.
Incapable to lend a hand
I see her in the morning sun
Unwinding in a quiet land.
I am a man and I don’t cry,
I try to focus on the good.
Instead of paying child support
I drink Prosecco in Dubai.
Aletta's mother:
The sadness eats me up inside.
My daughter, what was wrong with you?
The life you had and glorified
Transpired to be a deja vu.
How will I justify myself?
What will I tell your brother, who is twelve?
Your vanity just makes me sick.
I wish I'd kill you with a brick.
