a letter from persephone, goddess of spring, to her mother demeter, goddess of agriculture.
mother dearest,
didn't you know? my fingers weaved the dirt like fine tapestries i created the pit and likewise dove into it
do not believe the lies they tell he didn't steal me i stole him
didn't you know? his kingdom was dark yet filled with light and it was cold yet filled with warmth
didn't you know? i met him as he watched over his realm a solemn look on his face
hades his name spoken in fearful whispers but danced on my tongue a name filled with sin and temptation a name which would have mine next to it
didn't you know? we were wrapped in love a ghostly, unbreakable love hades and persephone my name next to his our stories now bound together by the Fates themselves
didn't you know? i became his queen wrapped in fine silks and adorned in jewelry the crown was heavy, yes but my head held it high
didn't you know? i ate the pomegranate the juice flowing from my lips sealing me to him not the other way around
didn't you know? they do not call me kore "little girl" they call me persephone "chaos bringer" my name is spoken in hushed whispers people beg for mercy at the sound of my name
didn't you know? i loved the way sin pooled in my mouth and it's bitter taste as i swallowed it down this body was made for more than flowers and frolicking it was made for sin temptation and to rule at hades' side
love, persephone queen of the underworld
