EIGHTEEN
PATROCLUS

now, i can't express how scared i feel,
i'm going to set foot in the same war ground as you were supposed to,
i know i wasn't supposed to do this,
i know i wasn't supposed to be in your place,
but my desire to keep you to myself,
it over-rid every other thing in my whole being.

i know i may die, but at least i'd do it for you,
at least i committed to our pact.

so know this, achilles,
i loved you, so much.

this may be the last thing i write,
i'll see you in the underworld perhaps,
or elysium if zeus decides i'm worthy,
but for now, it's merely a goodbye,
we don't know what'll happen,
and now, it is my cue to cry.
