Orpheus

 As if your songs and poems of love weren't enough,

You descended into the shadowy underworld to plead with the gods.

You told Hades and Persephone

How much you loved Eurydice.

Everyone was touched by your song and story,

So they gave you one chance and the right of entry.

But then you lost when you broke the rule.

Oh, the things you did for love, they turned you into a fool.

So everyday you wept and sang your songs,

And swore to never love another.

Then came the day you had long awaited...

Your death.

Finally, the two of you met,

And walked side by side without the fear

Of losing each other

Ever again.
