Freeverse. Reyna. Jason. AU, maybe. I need to think about it, and am currently lacking the brain cells to even want to think. CHEMISTRY IS GETTING TO ME. Enjoy. And review, because that is the nice thing to do, y'all.
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO or HoO or the brain power to express this in a witty manner.
the half-life of gold
we're living a half-life of sorts
because you're decaying
and I'm rotting
deprived from the light
stuck in the shadow of us
.. ..
I wish you'd move
that you'd turn around and
smile that smile
but I don't think I can take
the radioactive disappointment
any longer
.. ..
we're unstable
trying to get to that coveted position
so we're giving off energy
giving away what we were
in hopes of becoming what we ought to be
.. ..
you wish I'd understand
that as the years keep going by
and the smiles keep getting faker
we're reducing from what once was
to what they think we should be
but I know that as we keep rotting
deeper and deeper into each other
our half-lives keep passing by
.. ..
we were the golden couple
untouchable and perfect and flawless
the only reactions we caused
were with each other
but something was lost
and something was gained
but it was the wrong kind of gain
and we turned into something else
something totally different
and we don't fit together
anymore
but nobody wants to admit that
we've decayed
so we keep on reacting
and changing our elements
and one day
we will change completely
and the reactions will cease to happen
because we won't form anything
and we won't cause anything
and we won't change anything
we simply won't be
but for now
the world is still moving
and we are still rotting
and the chemicals are still reacting
