A labyrinthine passage

Within my chest

A blood red thread

That leads to hell

An ache so deep

I cannot rest

The waves within

Begin to swell

At sorrow’s breast

She nourished me

Disgust too great

To love me true

I am revulsion

In human form

I am the gorgon

For whom none shall mourn

And sorrow’s tide

Will fill the caves

I drown in fear

Of loving you

I want to be ethereal

And unknown

A mysterious nebula

In space

Expanding like a web

Of iridescent madness

I’ve found a way to escape

Perseus never shall know

Athena averted her eyes

Mortality graces my soul

The woods will hide my body

And consecrate my corpse

As I lay down to take my final breaths

A wolf catches the scent of my blood

She approaches tenderly

I’ve found a way to escape

Perseus never shall know

Athena averted her eyes

Mortality graces my soul

A lover coming to devour me

She drinks of me and gains

What little strength i have left to give

As I drift away

Drift away

She carries me

Down into the earth

Down into the earth

Carried to the sea

Shattered like the ring

With which you shackled me
