ICARUS:
why did you make me fall in love with him?

EROS:
I didn’t.

EROS:
I made him fall in love with you
to hurt him, to make him burn.
mortals die and gods never forget.

ICARUS:
you know nothing of the pain you cause-

EROS:
and you know nothing of gods
loving mortals, gods wanting
to drain their divinity, all for-
all for a “good morning.”

ICARUS:
-and how desire sears with the intensity of the sun-

EROS:
it only takes a lamp.
it only takes a lamp.

ICARUS:
-and oh how I wish I had wings so I can touch the halo of his hair

EROS:
wings are overrated-
it only feels like flying
when I am by her side
(and she is lost to me
forever.)

ICARUS:
you’ll watch me turn to ash.

EROS:
she thought I was a monster.
I guess she was right.
