Icarus Fell in Love

Icarus Fell in Love

Icarus - the boy who fell after he flew to close to the sun,

Disobeying his fathers orders out of boyish sass.

Getting lost in the feeling of wind in his hair and the sun on his skin.

Leaving soft sparks, causing his body to shiver and his heart to ache for more.

Icarus - the boy in love with the sun,

Ready to risk everything if it meant that he could feel the warm embrace.

Even if it would be for just a second,

He would willingly fall for just one moment of warmth.

Icarus - the boy whose heart could only be warmed by the sun,

Drunk on happiness as his wings carry him further and further bias sun.

Not hearing his fathers pleas, to focused on flying higher and higher,

Not caring that the wax started to soften.

Icarus - the boy who smiled as his wings started to melt for the sun,

Just like his heart had done, all those years ago.

He didn't struggle as his wings gave out,

As he was pulled towards the cold depths of the sea.

Icarus - the boy who laughed as he fell further away from the sun,

The feathers twirling after him without hurry.

His face stretched to a wide grin,

As the tears flooded his sight.

Icarus - the boy who fell because ha was in love with the sun,

Drowning slowly, sinking further and further.

Not once trying to fight back, fixing his loving gaze upon the sun above him,

Only slipping into unconsciousness when darkness swallowed the glooming star.

Apollo - grieving because Icarus fell.

Apollo - screaming his name as Icarus started to fall.

Apollo - knowing he cannot help him,

no matter how much he wanted to.

Apollo - putting on his brightest smile as tears coated his cheeks,

Doing the one thing Icarus loved the most -
