rose-tainted lips
what does the pomegranate taste?
you born with crown upon your head
choose the darkness instead
flowers upon your wake
wilted as you walk ahead
yet only the pomegranate remains
standing tall with arms spread
oh dearest Persephone my goddess
didn't you know you had been deceived?
the seeds you ate tasted so sweet
was just a trap, a sin for you to commit
what really bind you two wasn't love
but the fruit that bore his darkest desire
desire to have you by his side
the warmth that his world never had
and the pomegranate laugh
