Hades and Eurydice

You are extreme, a spectrum of over-saturated flames

You are chaos, a whirlwind of hearts and hands

You are fickle, sweet Orpheus cursed to turn at the last moment

I am impartial, static on the screen of existence

I am absence, the void beside you in bed

I am eternal, bound to catch you when you fall

You will fall

I am Hades and you are Eurydice

In your death I claim you for myself

Both now made empty and frozen

A mask of loveliness to conceal the rot

And yet I love you still
