The Seeds That Killed Me

by GirlNamedLeo

what if Persephone escaped after tasting the pomegranate? what if the gods couldn't come to a fair decision? what if she is running for the rest of her life?

I walk among you
A stranger
I hear my kingdom
Calling
Tell no one my secrets,
They will punish you.

I have been
_ _ _Running,
_ _ _ _ _Escaping,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _Hunted,
My life long

They are silent
Always in the shadow of my
Wake

Would it be easier
To end now?

Should I wonder
The precipice
Until courage strikes?

Nay,
They would be waiting
On the other side.

And would greedily feast
On my memories of
pomegranate

Such flavors escape
Those evil beasts
