Apollon’s Cycle
Knock me down.
Break me down until nothing is left but a memory of who I wanted to be.
Give me endings.
Appeal to my masochism.
Let me love you until I learn to love myself.
Show me who I am by how you ruin me.
Strip everything away and make me weak.
Appeal to my strength.
Watch me reinvent myself from scratch, using pieces of you that you couldn’t take.
Pay attention to who avenges me and haunts you when I leave
See my own prowess through the eyes of my God.
Raise me up.
Give me the power of moderation in love and grace.
Be a witness to my genesis.
