Appeasing Apollo

Intransigent,intrepid,intruder
take hold your memories and flee
solid station survives,no more

Diligently distorting dreams
desolate wasteland of tomorrows
fervently forgetting fragments of a lie

Juxtapose to justify junctures
never meeting
your diluted version of love
staving starvation with trenchant word
to those that would believe

As you try to appease Apollo
while your world unravels and frays
