orpheus was joyful, for he was in love
and she loved him in return
but they would soon learn
that it was not the will of the gods above
for she, his beloved,
to hear his nocturnes
and his sorrow burned
for the life she was freed of.
nothing good ever comes from looking back,
learned orpheus, for though
his music moved hell’s royalty
through lack of faith, he cracked
and the mourning maestro
faced his love’s final farewell as reality
and she loved him in return
but they would soon learn
that it was not the will of the gods above
for she, his beloved,
to hear his nocturnes
and his sorrow burned
for the life she was freed of.
nothing good ever comes from looking back,
learned orpheus, for though
his music moved hell’s royalty
through lack of faith, he cracked
and the mourning maestro
faced his love’s final farewell as reality
