After

I am the sun
I shine warm and bright
I always look happy
So everything seems alright

I'm never truly happy
I never can be
My selfish mistakes
Took them all away from me

I can't see the flowers
Or trees in the meadows
For each time I do
It makes me remember

Everyone I've loved
Has met with a death
So I've given up
My heart has no love left

I can never be happy
I don't deserve to be
Not after Cassandra, the Muses
And Daphne

Not after my lover turned her back on me
Not after my father killed my son
In front of me

I have nothing left
Nothing to preserve
I hope, at least, Hades gives me
The Afterlife I deserve
