u/Obviouslybroken

Beneath the earth where no light dares

Hades waits with coal-black stares

Hands like chains, his voice a snare

Persephone shivers, caught in his lair

Roots of night twist through her veins

Whispering secrets, sweet as pain

A stolen bloom, a trembling flame

Her fear and longing both the same

A world of stone, yet warm with breath

Their love a dance of life and death.

No dawn will touch this darkened ark

No mercy lives in Hades’ heart

Yet still she blooms in love and delight

A Captive Flame in eternal night

I found her under a devil's skin
Her scent of forever drew me in
One thousand years, her lips still burn
The lessons of love we'll never learn
She calls my name, I come undone
We've been together since time began
I crave her love, her cruelest part
She drinks my blood, drains my heart
I dig my grave, I come back to life
She kisses my neck, her tongue a knife
Her lust devours, her secret sings
We fly at night with bloodied wings
Her claws upon my unholy chest
My mercy lost, she is my test
Through every age, our bodies fall
Through every death, I meet her call
We fight, we love, we bleed as one
The moon our day, the night our sun
So let me rhyme, these mortal cries
We live forever when heaven dies
For I am hers and she is mine
Two souls that feed on love’s design
And when the day forgets our names
We rise at dusk, and kiss the flames
Still bound by lust, by blood, by art
Forever undead, yet heart to heart

I ain’t afraid of the dark
my friend
It’s where truth begins
and ends
The light’s the lie we
can’t defend

You burn like dawn’s
first flame
I rhyme poems that call
your name
I wander, lost in love’s
cruel game

You shine too bright
I can’t remain
I’m not afraid of death
or night
But loving you cuts deep
despite

The fire, the ache
the endless fight
I’m scared of love
but it feels so right
