Persephone
Curly black hair
drapes around shoulders
flowers entertwined within locks
protection?
Bright red lips
a smile is worth a thousand words
Her smile lights up the room
An invitation?
An overbearing mother
a too good to be true bad boy
A love story?
Runaway girl, queen of lost souls
nice girl walking down the halls
combat boots compliment a floral dress
Your mother still hangs
your missing poster signs
on empty streets
Waiting for you to come home
thinking the bad boy is just a phase
Doesn’t she know?
He followed you,
You made your own decisions.
