Hades knows.

When she leaves,

Wherever she goes,

Whatever she does,

“Up Above”

She will return to him.

Although he is sad

As she turns to go,

He knows this is how she thrives.

Asking her to stay

Would be asking  her to change,

And what would be the point of that,

Anyway?

They are as different as Spring and Winter.

He is surrounded by the dead.

A does not need another sacrifice.

He never asks what she did and why.

Just takes her in his arms.

And feels himself come alive.
