My favorite story in greek/roman mythology is the story of Persephone and Hades. I always though that she was in love with him That she was the good grace that saved him Almost as yin and yang, two beautiful opposites that fell perfectly into what I described as love. But as I read inbetween the inbetween of the lines I learned that I was wrong. She wasn't happy at all, she just couldn't leave. She was trapped in a whirlwind of melancholy Longing for a hand to grab through the storm. And as she grew sadder, so did the world around her. When she was not with Hades flowers grew inbetween her toes and butterflies danced across the clouds, But when she had to leave the sky rained monotone gray. I was Persephone, I longed to help the hopless and in hope of love being returned to me from the hands of god all i was given, was nothing. But then you came. You swooped me off of my feet and doused me in saphires. You showed me what it felt like to be loved. I'll admit, the feeling is new, But sometimes you have to grab the hands of fate and just hope that you'll be catched. Because at the end of the day, why keep picking roses if they're thorns make you bleed? Thats why I prefer Sunflowers; and I'm sure if she had the chance, Persephone would too.
