Persephone is on Fire


His eyes do devour

I goddess of flower

Heat fills me like none before

Hades the ravishing god of hell and gore

They think I hate it 

Live in fear

Drown in my tears

I love it down here

My skin sizzles from the heat

I know to run from him is defeat

He is that horrible, gruesome, terrible fate

One which I am always so eager to meet
