achilles

Coming out of your father’s shell

You walk with such beauty and pride

You carry yourself all to well

But I see hunger in your eyes

With you around, women go weak

I in turn act cold and withdrawn

They flirt but give not what you seek

In silence I dream of your love.

I know your relationship curse

You played with fire and you got burned

Young Achilles, you are still loved

Someday I’ll bring back what they robbed

One day I will ease out your pain

For now, just remember my name

eclipse

I held the stars for you

And tried hard to gather enough life

But whatever I did it was not enough

To imitate your light

Apollo God of fire

Why do you forsake me?

Have you drunk too much splendor

That you no longer see me?

Are you too blind of pride

That you no longer love me?

Have you forgotten Luna;

The ever guardian of the sea?

Have you not felt my longing?

Or the intensity of my need?

Can you not tell how much I need you?

How each cold night magnified my want to be freed?

We were once shapeless clouds

Made merely of dust and air

We were once happy together

Until they made you flare

You became a star,

Resplendent and proud

And I became the moon

Our love was lost; unwanted to be found.

Still I chase after you

Though the gods condemn me so

For you I’ll make the waters wild

For you I consistently glow

Apollo my love, where are you now?

Have you drowned yourself in superficiality?

Am I no longer worthy of your love,

Are we not meant to be?
