My Loves ~ Poetry Collection

In life and death

I believe in fate
Because we met by chance 
You were a perfect son and a perfect prince
I was exiled from my country by my own father
We couldn't be more different 
Yet we ended up in the same palace
And then you chose me to be your companion 
We were still kids so I was waiting 
For you to realise your mistake
But you never did 
So I grew up watching you become a perfect man 
How could you be anything less? 
Son of a goddess 
I stayed up so many nights 
To memorise the lines and curves on your face
I thought it was only me and I stayed quiet 
How terribly wrong was I
I was always your shadow following you around 
Though I didn't mind that 
But that one time I became a leader 
I lost you and then watched you lose yourself 
Maybe I was only meant to follow you 
Still you followed me to death 
As I followed you in life 

~ The Song Of Achilles
