Falls On Me

Something that popped into my head and I just had to put it down here. It's very short, but please review. Takes place just after Hector is killed and it sets in with Andromache, (Troy hasn't been ravaged yet).


Even those with sight beyond ours could not see

What had lie ahead of you for you to face

I did not even see it

I had been blinded by my love and compassion for you

My soul did not want to look ahead and see what could happen to you

I was just one person

Just a plain girl

But when I found you I found myself

But now that you're gone

Everything is falling on me

I see the clouds high up in the sky but they hang low in my eyes

I see the tears flow past your father's eyes yet they seem like open seas

And all of it is falling on me

I hold the one reason I live everyday close to my heart

Your son, our son

I hold him now

But now I even fear for him

Where will you be when he says his first word?

Takes his first fall?

I will be here having everything fall around me

While he struggles to remember your kind face and heart

I fear for his future and the fate of our home

The only place I have been able to call home

But now I am wary of all of our futures

Because now that I've lost you

Because now that you're gone

I can't stop everything

From falling on me


Sad, I know. But please let me know what you think of it.
