[▲] DEMIGODS - POETRY

seven

after separation

she never had a good night

of sleep

often at three am

she stayed up

and thought of how

they exchanged their affirmatives

their okays

like gus and hazel in

the fault in our stars

how she had told him

it wasn't original

and they could say siempre instead

because siempre meant always

and he had pledged

to always stay by her side

to always say goodnight

to always be with her at her worst

but now the word always meant nothing but pain.

he was the son of zeus

who thundered through her demons

struck them with lightning

and stole her heart.

he was the son of zeus

who had forgotten to let the sky rain

to wash away the pain.

he was like a tornado,

so beautiful,

but so dangerous.

and she was the stupid lamb

who ran right for the lion

without any hesitation.

now at four am,

there was no one staying by her side

because everyone had left

there was no one telling her goodnight

because now it was dawn

there was no one with her at her worst

because

siempre

was nonexistent.

because.
