Hush and Become the Night
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Poem from Persephone's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Darkness surrounds me
Continually, I scream
To release from this dark abyss
But I hear a voice whisper this:
"Hush, Child of Light
Hush and become the night
No matter who will come for you
No matter what you do
You'll crave the darkness and me
And you'll wish you were never set free"
Oh! How I wish I could hit the voice's face
But I can see nothing in this place
I cry in the darkness
I screamed from the loneliness
Oh, how I wish I could see the sun
How I wish through fields I could run
I long for my mother's face
But I only see this nightmarish place
Oh, woe the days I've spent here
My light slowly disappears
Each day my memory dims
And my resistance arrows slim
Why can't anyone find me?
Why can't they save me?
Don't they see
What's becoming of me?
I'm slowly becoming part of the darkness
I'm losing my brightness
And I continually hear
That voice whispering in my ear
Saying "Hush, child of the light
Hush and become the night…"
