Call to Eurydice

Oh Sweet Eurydice, How I long for thee, The love of my life, Too soon taken from me. I'll always love you, though I have loved you never, We seem to be each other's, But we can't be together. For this world's cruelty Wrapped round us like a snake, Pulls us apart, Leaving our hearts to ache. But I am yours, As I hope you are mine, For despite Hades' evil tricks, My love for you will outlast death and time. We will be together, always, never. Our bodies are kept apart, but our hearts are not. My soul bonded to yours, Even when our bodies rot. After all we've been through, We've been to hell and back, I'll get you out, come with me, Just don't look back.

Very interesting I love mythology! Such irony in the last stanza because it is he who looks back...
