Greek Love
In all that is worth seeking
I've never sought for greek love
For they warn of the heart as
They warn of Tartarus
The price of you grew
But at first it was only a little drama
I can still hear the Fates' laugh
As I pulled out my drachmas
But I didn't mind
Because we were an epic
Of laughter and adventure
Of struggles and magic
Oh but this is Greek love
And I didn't know it
But you were Pandora and her box
You opened it and wreaked havoc
Suddenly I was Atlas
Holding up my world and yours
In endless pain
I was Prometheus, empty at the core
You flew for the sun
Believing yourself Pegasus, not Icarus
When you began to plummet
I dove after you fearless
You fell far under the world
Surrounded by mistakes egregious
I chased you to Hades but tell me
Am I Hercules or Theseus?
Update: I guess I was Theseus
