hades
you cruel and unfair ruler
with your handsome cheeks and
strong jaw

i see it all in Nico
i see those dark eyes
i see that sickishly pale skin

you can't have everything
genetics said
so he gave Nico long black hair
and a skinny frame

you can't have everything
based God probably said
so he gave me apollo as a father
and a lifetime filled with
unrequited love and
poetry i could
plant in a pot and make a flower grow

hades you've done it
you've gotten something that
even i don't think i'll ever achieve

you've gone and gotten yourself
in love
