They say you are Icarus.
They say you flew
for a love so great and terrible
that it killed you.
They say you fell from heavens
into dark depthless oceans.
“For Love!” They say.
“He died falling in Love!”
But I think they’re wrong.
I think you burned.
Because of a lie;
a false promise of security.
I think you were dead
before you even hit the water.
They never found your body, did they?
