Greek Tragedy

by Carla105

The way you make me feel Our distance is Greek tragedy You truly are the Ruler of Hell And I am your Persephone First time I heard you sing And your voice blessed my ears It's as if I was Eurydice Hearing the Epics of sweat and tears Letter by letter I spell it out To me, you are all but perfection You are to me as Narcissus is To his very own reflection Of every Mythology in the world I fear of becoming one most of all And that is of the arrogant son That took the greatest fall Each time he flapped his wings of wax His ego and pride struck him down Icarus flew too close to the sun And soon was never to be found Greek Myth holds many secrets But some secrets I hold closer I look at Sisyphus and only wonder How he keeps his calmed composure-- Figure out how he rolled that boulder Over and over again His and the winged-boy's punishments Are warnings of discontent Spells are currently cast on us Some would call it a honeymoon phase But I know these warnings, we will heed And find our way through life's maze A lot is there for us to do To figure out how to live But for now it feels like fantasy The future seems like a myth Secret messages on parchment Will be how I share my soul Until I can whisper these words Being with you is my end goal
