gentle demeanor and caring soul,
you watched me from afar.
you came from a troubled home.
little did you know that I did, too.
misunderstood, my night princess.
you held the keys in your
hands the whole time,
you just never had your timing right.
four garnet pomegranate seeds
you offered me.
believing me to be of
grace and elegance.
I came swiftly.
and though you rule the
grounds of the underworld,
we were the two queens.
I was already broken
by the time you captivated me.
addicted from the start.
I taught you tricks of my own,
and being the princess of darkness,
you already knew them.
but the stories have it wrong.
the history books documented our inevitable arrival incorrectly.
it was not hades that corrupted persephone, but the path of destruction we paved together.
I was always leaning toward
your side from the start.
in love with danger and the promise
that you would never hurt me.
I am your queen, and you are mine.
june 1st, 2014
dedicated to my lady hades.
I loathe my inability to hate you.
I still love you, but I will never be your queen again.
you threw me from the underworld, out of the depths of eternal winter.
