She has a smile like Persephone
Eyes like Medusa
And the lure of Helena
But beware,
For she also has the fire of Athena
And weaves webs so twisted
Arachne would be jealous

I took a look
Into the Abyss
And I saw my reflection
Staring back with a smile

*      *      *      and you are      *      *            
   *           *  just­ like the moon *      *          
*        *   *      -----so, alone-----      *      *    
   *      *    but you shine bright  *      *    
*     *            at the darkest  *      *     *
   *      *      *     of times  *      *      *      *    
*           *           *           *         *          

you remind me of the sun
burning and brightly beaming
but if i get too close, i’ll simply
melt

but i was always the one to take risks.
