Wedding Band

by miabria

Persephone debates with herself whether she wants to marry Hades or not. Of course, she worries about how her mother will react, but she also want a life of her own. The fact that Hades isn't as paranoid or protective as Demeter is definitely a tempting thought.

Perhaps I love him,

Perhaps this is what I want,

Perhaps I can make this work,

Perhaps he's not what I thought.

Maybe mother will allow it,

Maybe I can finally have a life,

Maybe darkness is my fate,

Maybe I can make the perfect wife.

But what if I hate this,

What if I'm alone,

What if mother hates me,

What if I'm not meant for this throne?

I think this will be good,

I think I can make this work,

I think I'm ready for marriage,

I think this is what I deserve.

I hope I will learn to love him,

I hope I won't make him angry,

I hope my mother will not be cruel,

I hope this is right for me.

I know I hate the darkness,

I know I must start anew,

I know this man is my future,

I know I must say "I do."
