To The Underworld, And Back

"I have my definition of a perfect evening

I can't remove that memory even if I had Alzheimer

The sun setting, just above the horizon,

Turning the whole world like a giant tangerine

And the empty field, as long as our eyes could see

Your faint indie playlist, that you forced on me

"Let's hear something other than rock this time please"

I did enjoy it, but it's no Green Day let me make it clear

There were you, of course

And there was me, an old me, a better me

And we had the wind on our side too

it felt as if you had bribed the gods

For this beautiful setting

And you've pulled a favor on time

Because the evening never turned into a night

The sun is still setting in my mind

It never does, I never could see the darkness

The flickering of the street lights

But I don't care.

You might say my memory is broken

I simply say don't interfere

I'm busy looking at her

I don't want to wake up from this never-ending dream

For a bystander, it might just be pure drama

A cliché perhaps, but for me, it's like achieving Nirvana

I look at her and with her eyes closed

Her mind fixed on the song

And her lips smirking, she knows

She knows I am looking at her

She knows I've fallen for that smile

She never fails to give me that smile every single time

I shift the phone and I hold her hand

Our fingers lock ever so tightly

Her eyes still closed, her lips still like that smiley

I could never forget this evening

I couldn't possibly forget that innocent, gentle, somewhat foolish

Yet the most beautiful face to have ever existed

I could never let her go"

Persephone smiled and got up from her throne

The Queen of the Underworld was at a loss of words

Just like Orpheus, only without any conditions

I finally got my Eurydice back

Passing Cerebrus, Crossing the River Styx

Walking through the land of souls

I land back, in present time

There was no Eurydice, there was no one I knew

These machines around me suddenly turned off

I felt uneasy, there was some pain, I smiled

In my last moments, until my last breathe

My final memory was you!
