A/N This is just a little poem. It's a sort of "What if?" What if Percy, Annabeth, and Nico died one day, and everyone realized that they had gone insane over time from the effects of Tartarus? This is from a random demigod/god's point of view. It could apply to any demigod or god.
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO.
I apologize
I didn't realize
That your life
Is anything but perfect
-/-/-
Because it's hard to see
Behind that sparkly
Silver lining that you've
Been hiding behind
-/-/-
I didn't realize that stormclouds
Were hiding your sun
I didn't realize that you were losing
Before the race had even begun
-/-/-
I didn't realize that the odds were against you
And yet you still fought on
I didn't realize what I was missing
Until you were gone
-/-/-
You said that you were okay
But you were anything but fine
I thought that you were good
And I ignored the signs
-/-/-
One that tripped
Two that fell
And three were trapped
In a place called hell
-/-/-
I thought that you were good
I didn't know that you had a mask
I didn't know that you were bad
I didn't think to ask
-/-/-
I thought that you were fine
But, oh, my logic was flawed
It seems I failed to realize
That it was all a facade
-/-/-
A slow slip from reality
(How did I not know?)
Slow steps into insanity.
(Look here comes a crow.)
-/-/-
I wonder if I knew
Could I have saved you?
I wonder if I knew
Could I death undo?
-/-/-
One soul was alone
Two souls had each other
But in the end no one can save
The souls that death does smother
A/N In many places, crows are known to symbolize death. I just added that as a sort of extra symbolism. I hope that you guys enjoyed this, and thank you ahead of time for any favoriting, following, reviewing, or just reading that you do on this story or any of my other ones.
