Persephone

As the fading light flickers away

As the flowers in your hair wither

The dull blue flames shudder

The Underworld again

Back to the tormented faces

 Of children who never grew up

Hollow eyes, deep pits of anguish

Those who can never return

When you step out into sunshine

 Startled by the sudden light

Are your playtimes troubled

Haunted by the horrors below?
