i // MEDEA LAYS HER COLD EYES ON JASON
AND LAUGHS
SHE SEES HE IS THE ONE AND FALLS
BITTERLY IN LOVE WITH HIM
(do you think i could forget the way you looked at me
you eyes still burn through my skin)
ii // MEDEA IS MOVING HAND IN COLD HAND WITH JASON
CROWN HIGH
SHE SURVEYS THE WORLD HE HAS CREATED
'I WILL HELP YOU' SHE SAYS
'TAKE ME WITH YOU' SHE SAYS
MEDEA TURNS FROM HER KING
MEDEA OVERLOOKS THE BLACK IN HIS EYES
(they told me to run
i am not saying i was not warned
somedays i still feel your lips on my skin and
wonder why it all burned to dust)
iii // MEDEA LOOKS TO JASON AND LAUGHS
HEART HALF FULL WITH HIS PROMISES
HEART HALF FULL WITH HIS LIES
MEDEA BURNS HER BROTHER AND
SHE BURNS HER SISTER
HER PALE LIPS ARE TIGHT AND NOW
NOTHING IS IN THEIR WAY
(it was never a good idea and i knew it from the start
here, take my hands
here, take my heart
you have left me countless times and yet
you are still contaminating my thoughts)
iv // MEDEA WATCHES JASON AND
MEDEA WATCHES GLAUCE
MEDEA FIND HER NAKED BODY AND HIS HAIR AND
RIDS THE WORLD OF THEIR CHILDREN
JASON IS POWERLESS
JASON IS DESTROYED
MEDEA BURNS HIS KINGDOM BEFORE HIS EYES)
(for all you ever said
i believed every goddamned word
white sheets
white light
your lips still burn my neck)
(this is when i leave you)
from medea to misused women || e.s.
