patroclus. patroclus.

patroclus.

remember me?

 

listen.

i no longer have all the things

i am proud of anymore.

 

the golds i have are gone

when i refused finishing a war.

the empire i brag about are gone

when i stopped fighting

the trusts people gave me are gone

when i didn't **** a man.

i am no one.

i have nothing left now.

 

but why all that

doesn't a lot matter to me?

i lost everything,

but i was not lost.

 

i was lost

when you laid in my arm

for the last time.

i promised i would protect you.

but i didn't.

i let him aimed you.

 

the stain of your blood

never disappeared.

the last scent of your body

haunted me.

the tone of your voice

became an alarm to my ears. .

 

i wasn't dead

when an arrow hit my heel.

because maybe,

my real weakness is you.

- why did you have to take 'i will take an arrow for you' way too literally?
