Styx

by Meliae

Dragonslayer poem. Styx is one of the underground rivers of Hades, the river of sadness.

Styx

I crush my soul

I surrender my tears

I break angels' wings

I take my years

I burn in ice-cold water

I die in an endless field of life

I scream in never-ending silence

I fill my heart with sacrifice

I fall on my knees

I sell my will

I kiss the night

I fall now, still

I shall slay gods

I lose my eyes

I drink my blood

I believe in lies

I rip my soul

I forsake my tears

I wear devils' wings

I drown in my years

Against the black, cold water of river Styx I press my cheek

And all your secrets I shall keep
