Orpheus

I waited for you to come back
And I tuned my lyre while you slept in the flowers
He sprang from the bushes and scared you away
The venomous beast came to you
It sank its fangs and drained the life from you
I screamed and cried and clawed at the ground
But I knew your soul would not come out
So I did the daring, I went underground
To retrieve your soul and dance with you
I was given a test and I failed
And now I am with you
