Persephone

I’m the all-knowing smirk on my face
The pomegranate of the underworld
And everything you say,
I understand
I’m not naive
Playing dumb is easy
I know what you mean
Every word
Every line
I’m conscious
And you don’t
Can’t you realize?
I’m forbidden?
Can’t you think-
I’m the alluring fruit, just out of your grasp
Don’t wait
I won’t be there
I’m with my nightmare savior
The smile to my joke
Don’t wait
I can’t
Won’t
Be there
