I watch her from underneath,
Yearning for her beauty,
To lighten my dark world.

I'm not usually the impulsive one,
But today, I don't just
Want her, I need her.

So I take her,
Home with me.
Away from the sun.

She glares at me,
And she tells me she hates me,
But even her hatred is beautiful.

I give her jewelry,
And fancy clothes,
And the newest Apple device.

But most of all,
I give her my heart,
But she does not take it.
------------------------------------
He thinks he can
Win me over,
With fancy things,

But he's wrong.
He steals me
From my world,

And though he tries,
To get me to accept
One thing from him,

I refuse, knowing it would
Put me in his debt,
And make me stay here.

For I'm not cruel.
I have a heart,
Just not for this creature.

This thing, this monster,
The one who has taken
All my happiness.
My (pretty crappy) entry into the poetry part of Transliteration's contest. [link]
:shurg: Maybe I'll actually get the prose part done before deadline. and this is Hades and Persphone.
