you fell in love with a boy,
a half god, half human,
he became half of your soul,
as the poet said
he was made to be a weapon.
never to know peace,
only war and bloodshed
to appease the gods
but you loved him
and that was enough.
you hoped it would be enough.
enough to think that a love
like yours could save him,
even though the battle
raged on in his head
and tore at his heart
until there was nothing left.
wars came,
battles won
labours lost
but you still had him
and that was all that mattered.
after everything we did,
everything we became
the epilogue would read
as a tragedy.
somewhere down the line
the gods sealed our fate,
our end,
our story became a tale of woe,
only history would forget
about our undying love,
but darling how they would remember you.
our story became
a tragedy,
but
you and i my love,
would always find each other
defying heaven and hell
just to hold you again,
to find the other half of my heart.
so until then my darling,
i’ll be here
waiting
for you.
– i would know him in death, at the end of the world.
