Aidoneus' letter to Selene

┗━━━━•❅•°•❈•°•❅•━━━━┛

🌙

That day,
I realized not all hollowed are empty,
For if it all were then I wouldn't hear the pounding inside me.
Or maybe I wasn't hollowed at all,
You were there, with your perfection calling out to me,
And maybe that did it.
You woke up something in me I didn't know was sleeping.

I saw you for the first time,
And I could swear the stars danced in your eyes,
The storm calmed by the sea,
And the chaos from the underground ceased.
You were too beautiful you could stop a war,
And you did,
You stopped the raging fire I had within me,
I didn't know how you did it but I would praise and worship you for all eternity for giving me peace.

I may wear perfect suits,
Bathed in expensive perfumes,
But nothing could chase away the smell of death from me.
Still, you stayed,
And I have never loved anyone this great it terrifies me.
Love, tell me if it's too much.
Tell me if I get too much.
For I could only give my love, my loyalty and myself to you.

What I truly feared for isn't death,
For I am death myself,
I take lives and collect souls,
No, love, it's not death I fear,
It's the throes of agony after your absence.
I don't trust myself that I would make you stay,
But I would die trying, I would make you love me.
And if I can't,
God and divinities forbid I can't,
I fear for what I could do.
