Sweet queen of his underworld

Does he peel and feed you pomegranate seeds

If so how?

Does he do it gently, one by one

Or shoved them all down your throat

How does he fare compared to you

As you sit on his lap, your throne

Does your flowers and light, flicker any warmth to his dead cold heart

Do you show him love like no other being could

Why is it that when you're away he only thinks of your soon return to his arms

Sweet queen of the underworld

Did he give you those seeds to make you stay-

And did you unregrettably swallow,

Every. Single. One.
