❝she wore silk dresses and flower crowns, she was soft and she was loved
and then she was stolen, this is the story they tell,
they don't speak of her rages, where she would pull rain from the clouds
and the flowers turned black beneath her feet,
they don't speak of how she laughed when icarus fell from the sky in golden plume
they do not speak of how she grew flowers because she liked watching them fade and die
and they do not speak of how she pounded at the gates of hell until they opened
and how she let the pomegranate juice drip from her smiling lips
and how even hades trembles under her gaze❞
