This poem is about Paris and his feelings from when he takes Helen to the fall of Troy. I hope you like it!

Prince of Troy

He saw her

Firelight flickering off her face

Like a vision of Aphrodite

So beautiful was she

He wanted her

And have her he would

Stealing her from her husband

Away on a ship, hiding her

He revealed her

To his older brother

Dismayed at his response

But he refused to take her back

He loved her

His father welcomed her

Called her a princess of Troy

And everything was fine

He was scared

When he realized they had come

To take her away from him

What could he do

He fought

Thought he would die

Cowered before his brother

His brother was always there for him

He realized

That he had brought destruction on Troy

By bringing the woman into their house

And he realized what real fear was

He could not take it

As he saw his brother fall

His brother who was always there for him

Who supported him

He cried

Silent tears down his face

It could not be real

It was all his doing

He wanted revenge

Against the one who had killed Hector

Who had dishonored his brother

Who had taken him away from them

He saw his city burn

Anger and guilt pounded within him

It was him who had brought this upon them

There had to be something he could do

He saw him

The man who killed his brother

The immortal Achilles

And he slew him

He avenged Hector

And he realized

He had been a coward

He had been a prince

He had been a lover

And now it was all gone

Because of him
