PERSEPHONE (A MODERN TRAGEDY)

clinging to that quiet inspiration flowing along the underground river of love lost in the moments of silence
sing to me in that catastrophic tone
dream to me in that moment alone

persephone-
don't remember me when it's too late
persephone-
the weight of love is a single grain of sand
persephone-
the albatross is a beautiful bird when you let it fly

sipping from a bottomless cup of desperation in a dimly lit cafe of fading choices that have lived and died while you shivered in fear
dream to me in that muddled color
sing to me in that softly spoken flavor

some feelings never fall away (persephone)
some flowers bloom in the darkest night (persephone)
the only mystery worth unlocking is you (persephone)

in the heart of the never persephone dreams of one day

someday
maybe today
but only when you open your eyes
persephone

the rain shatters the stillness of the pavement as the hue of life runs away from the tail lights of vacant dedication

persephone cries into the dawn
