Persephone

I've never felt so alone.
Although I'm not on my own.

Surround by people... yet here I am,
The only one stood still in the sea of the damned.

They writher and writhe
As they watch for deaths scythe...

They know they're dead,
But they're still alive in their heads.

Here they can breathe, here in hell,
Forced to suffer under Hades spell.

And I'm made to watch it all,
Even partake in torturing the fools.

Theres nothing more I want to do,
But to rejoin the surface and be with the living too.

I'm forced by marriage to stay below.
Captured, tricked and kept, I can never go.
