Persephone

[horatioalone]

Every year the same quarrel.
You can’t go back. But I must.
Aha see that means you are unwilling
after all. I never said that. Oh so you long
to be rid of me. No. Then why this folly.
It’s in my nature. Nature what do you know
of nature. Enough to know what’s enough.
You don’t love me. Yes I do. Funny way
of showing it. The only way I have.
Are you sure you’ll be safe. Yes
I’ve made this journey a thousand times
and I’ll make it a thousand times more.
At least take this lantern. I need no light
where I’m going. What am I supposed to do
when you’re gone. Listen to prayers
tend to your domain remember me.
Did you think I could ever forget you.
I never said that. Do you think so badly of me.
I couldn’t love someone I think badly of.
Do you ever miss me. Half the time I do
but the other half I’m too happy to notice.
Do you ever regret all of this. No.
Every year the same quarrel.
