The Smirk

01^st Jul, 2013

In this moment of complete silence
I hear myself louder than ever before
I see my forlorn face in this, forevermore
Macabre mirror of the river Styx

Hades calls my name, beckoning me to answer
Following my desire I surrender to his will
He is calling with his husky voice
Tenaciously trying to hide his smirk
Yet again, not really trying at all

My desolate feelings nourish my dreary thoughts
And I’m stepping barefoot into this acid river

My skin is folding
My eyes turn gray
My hair grows silver
But still, I take his hand.
