Persephone


Persphone.

a rose in a garden of sunflowers,

lived at home,

until one day she didn't,

 

Hades. 

the needle in the haystack,

the man of her dreams,

and her nightmares,

 

Demeter.

caught in a constant nightmare, 

I love you mommy,

but I love him too,

 

Choice?

        Stockholmes?

                Consent?

                       Drugs?

                           Savior?

 Persephone.

a rose in a garden of sunflowers,

was trapped,

IS trapped,

 

but by who?
