Can't Remember

Starved straight all december and the 3-headed dog
Stained red, can’t remember why I ate that at all
Now my mother’s withered in her grief
And she’ll stay like that now for some time
And my father’s just as guilty
As the man I’ve betrothed
Can’t remember.
And the frost on leaves
Is forming as I leave
Do you remember?
The once eternal spring
Do you resent him?
The man who’s taken me
Do you resent him?
Mom’s sent a messenger from the house of the gods
Return to the sunlight with a bouquet of flowers
But my home is back in the darkness
It’ll be like that now for all time
And I’ll follow him through the fissure
To the deep of the earth
And the former me
Is abdicating this
Can’t you see me?
As the dark world’s proper queen
Do you remember
The once eternal spring?
Do you remember
After all these awful years?
Can’t remember.
