Trojan Horse

Trojan Horse

A Poem by Mark Alexander Boehm
"

Hurt people hurt people.

"

You're perfectly sculpted 

Like a true gift from God.

With the parts of an Adonis

Even I'd consider a ride on this.

How could something 

That looks like that

Be a threat to my heart? 

That thought proved a fatal error,

Now let the onslaught start. 


Now that my heart's been pillaged

And my soul is left in ruins,

The world will see my worst.


Others have tried to

Break down these walls

But you just came right through them.

I never saw it coming, 

Just opened right up

For a Trojan Horse.


I ordered my gate raised 

Threw away the lock

And handed you the key.

I see now that I made it

All too easy 

For someone so sleazy 

To get right to me. 

Can't trust myself with a gate

So I'll build another wall in its place. 


Now that my heart's been pillaged

And my soul is left in ruins,

The world will see my worst.


Others have tried to

Break down these walls

But you just came right through them.

I never saw it coming, 

Just opened right up

For a Trojan Horse.


Part of me wonders 

If I enjoy the chaos 

A little too much. 

I sit back as it all crumbles

And another flame burns out. 

Am I the one that was fooled

Or have I been hiding out

In a horse of my own

Riding from heart to heart

Doing some damage that I don't know? 

The exact number of men I've destroyed

Would break your heart like a bone. 


Others have tried to

Break down those walls

But I'll just come right through them.

You'll never see it coming, 

Just open right up

For a Trojan Horse.

Now that your heart's been pillaged

And your soul is left in ruins,

You've seen me at my worst.

Now it's time to show me yours,

Open up for my Trojan Horse.
