οι άνθρωποι δεν την αξίζουν
( Humans Don’t Deserve Her )

Hello.
It’s been a long time
Since I’ve seen you last.
When was that?
Three days ago?
Ah, yes,
I remember now.
You sat on your bed
Contemplating taking your own life.
You cried so hard,
I laughed.
My work was almost done.
My mission almost complete.
Then she walked in.
She saw you.
She helped you.
She saved you.
She took you away from my grasp!
I had almost won!
She took my victory!
You went to the hospital.
They didn’t let me in,
So I watched
You
From
The sidelines.
Watched you become
Happy.
I hate that word.
I hate her.
She took everything from me.
All she left
Was shattered pride.
Pride that I
Could never
Get back.
It was gone.
Stolen from me.
I loved her.
We used to be partners
In crime.
We’d wander the streets,
Looking
But,
Never finding.
We looked for hope.
For peace.
For solace.
We never
Found it.
So we gave up.
We became
Enemies.
She wanted to do
Good.
I never thought
Humans
Deserved
Her.
Her name is
Alisa.
My name is
Ulysses.
