Description And then I was gone
The green devil, sprouted fangs and pounced
And I fell, down into Hades,
He greeted me like an old friend
Bearing his smile like a cat about to pounce
I would rather have been with Cerberus.

But then, I saw you again,
Coming down the steps of hell,
Lyre in hand, looking alive, tanned and fresh,
You talk to death, you reason with him,
He laughs at you,
But then you play him a song and he is enthralled.

He whispers in your ear and points to me,
His eyes glaze over, he can’t see me at all
Hades leads him over and points at me
He shakes his head,
Hades smiles, and prompts Orpheus to leave,
He lets me follow him, and whispers in my ear “Don’t let him look back!”

I only see the outline of your head and shoulders,
black against the cave mouth,
and so could not see your face at all, when you turned and called to me because you had already lost me.

The last I saw of you was a dark oval.
Though I knew how this failure would hurt you, I had to fold like a grey moth and let go.
You could not believe I was more than your echo.

A character of mine (I was obviously inspired by the story of Orpheus and Eurydice when I created her) on Method in the Madness .

Another simple character portrait manip thing because I was feeling like it. 8D
