AN ILIAD RESPONSE

BY MANDA MOONLIGHT

Aching to rewrite
the songs memorized
Abandoned in the
          redundancy of
          Bloodshed.
Muse … Sing for me
for I am unable
Humanity limits me
     and wiped my mind
A clean slate with
        Scars long healed
Defiant and silent
I know you’re
         awake
Let me forget
         the regret
I have of
          their fury
I have seen
         so much
I have lost
         so much
And you are
        the only one
        left who
        remembers.
        So Please
Muse … sing for me. | MM
