Sunlight, fresh air, and flowers blooming, I’m sitting in the ground of my mind recalling our first glance. You wore gray as my heart; I wore blue as your eyes. I never imagined this would be the ending of me. I’d never thought I would find my Achilles heel in dark times. Eyes that would change how the river flows. I told myself I would be a barren land for evermore, but the light in your smile made ivy grows again, beginning a new dawn.

We were dancing between heaven and hell teetering in Ares’s rope, hiding our feeling to live in paradise, you gave me signs to be double-crossed by the mind. Now I have this catholic feeling of believing in what is impossible. You led me down Dante’s path to leaving me at the purgatory’s gates. You are not sure what you want, but I’d walk through fire for you. The prize that I paid for playing the devil’s game was unrequited love. I will be burning in the maze ‘til your return.

Oh lord, forgive me, save my soul from bane, I’m just another mortal who was caught by the charms of a foolish god, what could I do? He has that red cheeks, blonde hair, and indigo eyes, the perfect drug for people like me, sinners. I know I’ll let you down again, I’m weak but that’s what believers are. Admiring his power as a remedy for pain. I failed you and I’m sorry, but I couldn’t forget what I felt, you can judge me with your wise sword, I’ll be in the underworld for an eternity.

Times go and you never came, maybe you found another soul out there or you already had it, who knows? Photos of yourself on tiny screens are the only way I see you now, you look happy, living the life you made, how’s paradise? I vanished from your mind I would dare to say, instead, I’m in a loop full of wishes of us, dreams of things that could be. My friends are telling me this feeling won’t last, but they don’t know that you ivy-covered me and put this being into an eternal summer.

 People always say resilience is the best way to get over something, to accept the way it is, but how can you run away from Apollo’s melody, he not only has my thoughts he got my heart. I need to drink from Lethe’s waters, it’s my only way out from the roots of your illusion to valleys of clarity.

Right now, I’m in Hade’s land, healing from the fall, despite the pain this gave me I see light in the distance, a little daisy blooming in the wilderness.
