even when i wasn't looking

this shadow felt like it was watching me

truth
even now you cant be sure of its form
for in memory, you only have ur own perception of that which you saw, without any awareness that it has of itself
you dont know how it got there, how it came to be
you only know how it felt to you in contrast to who you are


start
per[seph]one
persephone saw eurydice in the underworld
& told her she deserved better
said love is only a tragedy by choice
said even ignorance couldnt be claimed
that orpheus chose to turn around
that pure love saved her in every realm
that performers will perform
&god sees into every heart
trickery and love dont belong together
those that would use it in the name of love were cowards

learning your name gives them immortality


the end of all things
as i had done
in times i could count on one hand
i had pulled her out of her despair by the scruff of her soul and back into the flowing waters of life.

although i did not and could not do this alone
who or what lent me the strength to enclose my fingers around her (when she was as heavy as stone in its rightful place)
was too sacred to speak of.

you wouldnt believe me anyway
even if you believed what ive told you so far.
