Greek Tragedy
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
