Seeds and All

Persephone by Patricia Ariel

I believed that you loved me;

you dragged me down to hell.

I thought I was your queen,

but your kingdom had gates I could not pass.

What I thought was passion

was me being devoured by your fire.

Now all that’s left of me

is bone and ash.

I have only myself to blame;

I swallowed your lies, seeds and all.
