The sun plunges into the ocean
A blazing titanic stone
The mother of madness opens her arms
And swallows you whole in the night
Penny she waits all alone in the dark
Her tears outnumber the stars
Her man he’s been gone now for so long
Wonders will he ever come home
Icarus cried when his wings got fried
Sailing too close to the sun
He paid for his folly with his young life
Left a poor father to grieve
No it ain’t always funny but somehow its seems
The fates they just come in between
Cause the gods love a joke just like anyone else
Especially when the joke is on you
This was actually written as a song, but I'm pawning it off as poetry anyway. At the time I wrote it I was on a dark mythology jag. I got over it.
