Icarus & Apollo
December 8, 2023
I'd give you the sun if you asked.
I'd fly into the exosphere,
and chase after Apollo
as he pulls the giant star across the sky.
I would get so close to stealing it,
though, like Icarus,
my wings would melt
and I'd fall as I realize
you don't see me
the way I see you.
If you asked, I would give you the sun.

This piece isn't about anyone specific, more about love in and of itself. Caring for people so deeply that you would go to the ends of the earth for them, even while knowing they wouldn't do the same for you. I am a sucker for Greek mythology so of course I had to include Icarus and Apollo.
