My Persephone had a date

However, he was late

His mother died

Oh, how I wondered why

They went to her room

With a face of pure gloom

I heard cries

He definitely lies

It’s been weeks

There’s tears on her cheeks

She had to give in

And so he was forgiven

Though he was cheating

And he was beating

She had nowhere else to go

And now it’s starting to snow

Why can’t she leave him?

And soon the reaper of grim

Will be on the rim

Of her window he will be

Him I definitely despise

He acts all wise,

But I know he lies

He’s getting more violent

And she’s become silent

And more dependent on me

I realize he has an unpaid fee

And it fills my face with glee

As my Persephone will soon be free

I gather my friends

And soon he’ll meet his end

I sharpens my claws

And ready my paws

I enter his room

And fill his face with gloom

With all our might, we jump

He hits the floor with a thump

We scratch

We hiss

We fight

With all our might

The rest of the night is a blur

Persephone cries

Though I know she doesn’t mourn

Her baby was stillborn

But I know she didn’t want it

As I watch the news

With my Persephone,

A feeling of glee hits me

I see his face

That disgrace

He was accused of murder

Though he can’t be arrested

We’re done with the abuse

A few years later, she had children

With a kind man named Elliot

I think he’s an idiot

But he’s better than the last

Who harassed

Now they have 4 kids

And Elliot gives her affirmation

Now instead of gloom,

My Persephone has bloomed

And life couldn’t be better

She even knits me sweaters
