Walking Circles

Just an idea that popped into my head while I was writing, it's a HectorAndromache poem so enjoy!


I didn't even know you when I became your property

I didn't know that you rose with the sun

That you were a friend to all horses

I didn't know that you adored your family

Or that you hoped for a daughter first

But did you know that all of that turned my world upside down?

Did you know that everything you are has had me talking backwards?

You didn't know that I hated to sew

You didn't even know that I hated swimming

That I was terrified of horses

That my brothers would kill to protect me

But you did know that I came to love you

Just as you had come to love me

And I hoped that when you made me think sideways

I was making you walk circles

Because of all the things I learned

And how much I grew

Changed me in ways you couldn't imagine

Did I do this to you?

Did I help you understand who I was?

Was I a good wife, and friend to you?

Did I make you walk circles when I told you I loved you for the first time?


Really quite fluffy, I needed that fluff right now to keep me awake because I'm on a roll and actually thinking about just not going to sleep and continue writing. First attempt at a Troy poem!
