1. As Icarus loved the sun 

Spoiler

Icarus once loved the sun

He still loves the sun

Though it burned him

As you did me. 

 

Achilles loved the war

He loved the joy of the pain

But in the end

The pain overwhelmed him

 

You were as a spark in the night

As a saint on a battlefield

I did not love you for how you silenced my demons

But for how yours danced with mine.

 

I loved you

I did

Far too much

Far too close.

 

Not a day goes by

When my mind does not hold your visage

When my heart does not flutter

And sadden, at the thought of what could have been.

 

And now, here I sit

And now, here I wonder

Where did things go so wrong?

When did I lose that perfection?

 

Hear my silent howl; see my hidden tears

For in the deepest part of the night

When even the dead fear to walk

I think of you.

 

Could things have been different?

Or were you always meant to be

The Sun to my Icarus

And I the war that ravaged you, Achilles?

 

2. Endgame ended before it could start 

Spoiler

I loved you

I hated you

I wept because of you

And I grieved for you

 

You hurt me

I hurt you

Even though I did not realize it

I went from your lover to your villain

 

I cursed you for assigning me a role I did not want

But then I realized

This is your story

And I don’t get to say how you write it.

 

I think of you every day

And I am filled with melancholy

I am filled with rage

I am filled with regret.

 

I think of the times we shared in joy

I think of what you took from me

And what I took from you.

I…I do not think anymore.

 

Will I ever stop thinking of you?

Will I ever stop picturing your face, your voice?

I hope so

And I hope not.

 

You were my first love

And I will always remember you

Even if I never love again

You were worth all of it.

 

We were supposed to be endgame

But our story ended before it could start

I cannot blame you

I only hope you are happier now.
