Letter To Persephone
I apologise for killing you,
Can you ever forgive me?
Yes you can, I know you can
You know how the things have been.
You know how the things have been,
Almost 10 years of weeping
I know just how tired you were,
About time, I put you to sleep.
You've grown so much since
The first and the second try.
Still you're here, at the same place.
Swallow all of them before you lie-
You had no hell to turn to,
You were just waste of soul.
People here, they pity you Kore,
In nobody's life you have a role.
It wasn't enough, I'll admit,
But Persephone, you did your best.
No one cared, not even you
Even if you tried, you couldn't be the rest.
Seph, sweetheart, I'll pray for you
Hope you never reincarnate.
I didn't lock the door last night,
So at least they don't have to break it.
You look happy, well, I don't know that
But I sure hope that you really do.
Goodbye, little girl,
I'll miss myself too.
