Gothic Lilies
If Persephone can be both
The queen of hell and goddess of spring
Why can't I have a heart of flowers and a little bit of ruin
I can love people while still being malicious to some
Its always only goth or cottage core
Why not both
I would like to walk with my lover under a glittery night sky
With a lily tucked behind my ear and hands holding tight
Not in a park or a beach
But in a castle abandoned and forgotten
Somedays I like Hozier, the others I jam to Gothic rock
Somedays I put on gloss and add freckles, the others I do a graphic black liner
I wanna walk in the park in afternoon
When the resplendent sunlight casts shadows of my friends and I
Clad in dresses and skirts
Beautified by patterns of roses and butterflies
Wearing scents of lavender and vanilla
Some nights I wanna watch a horror film under the moonlight with my best friend
And perform magical rituals after
It's a good thing both have an affinity for art
