So this is my sorry excuse for poetry. This is honestly my first serious attempt, and I'm almost positive it sucks, but what can you do? I had inspiration, I wrote it down, and this is what happened.
Anyway, please enjoy! Annabeth's POV in the moments before, during, and after their fall.
"Fall with Me"
I thought my quest was over
When you came in with the sun.
The statue gleamed its beauty
As they raised it up as one.
Who would look down to see the ground
If it led to the pit of Hell?
My mother's enemy's work unraveling;
No, we shouldn't dwell.
The webs are snapping faster
As the rock floor starts to shake.
You glance down, notice the strand.
"Hey, what's that?"
Too late.
.
I slip then I slide,
I fall and I cry.
Then you're there to pull me up,
But oops! Your strength is not enough.
Now we're both dangling from the edge.
I shout, "Let me go!"
You yell, "Not a chance."
He makes you a promise,
An oath to your plan –
He sees what you're thinking
Before even I can
Then we agree,
"As long as we're together"
And though it sounds horrible,
I can't think of anything better.
With a rush of air,
We slip to the dark.
I guess Athena
Has truly left her Mark.
.
So I sit here thinking, 'Wow',
As you lie there asleep,
'What would I be now,
If you didn't Fall with Me?'
