Achilles:
You are my Achilles heel
My greatest weakness
You catch me unawares
Time and again
With an arrow through my heart
And I fall, fall
Left vulnerable
To the poisons of misplaced hopes
And old wounds they tear
Open so easily
And the blood from them
Runs so freely
Down my chest
Sticky and wet, angry and red
And it paints me, truly
A hypocrite
Surely I am no different
Than any other
Of your worshippers
As like a god
You stand aloof
And you deserve so much
Better than this
And I deserve to be free of this
But we keep each other close
Because secretly
I delight in the
Slow burn of the arrow
As it pierces my flesh
And you have come to love
The taste of my heartache on your lips
You are my Achilles heel
And my downfall is your ambrosia
