Like a corpse, 
it took her a decade to bloom,
but he only stayed 48, 
and then he said they could never be together. 
He left her empty,
maimed,
her heart worn out, 
like an old, unwanted punching bag,
emotionally hamstrung. 
Missing limbs,
she felt empty, 
forever soul searching. 
He said he had to go,
the deuce threat! 
"ruler of Olympus had ordered it",
rendered him powerless, 
left him "half" the man he was. 
But...
When did Zeus become a harlot?
A theory exists regarding Zeus, and the idea of soul mates. It is said to be believed that humans were born with four arms, four legs, and two faces. Then came a day when Zeus began to feel threatened by the humans, and so he retaliated. As a defence mechanism, Zeus then separated all humans, in order to weaken them. It is thus believed that, that is the reason why we spend our lives looking for our "other half", our soul mate, in order to feel complete, whole, once more.
