aggrieved

Apollo tapped his boyfriend from behind
and Achilleus took it rather ill
Peleides went quite out of his mind
confronted with a greater power's will
he'd long-since reconciled to his own fate
to die unwithered but live on in song
yet never dreamed that he'd cremate his mate
sweet Patrocles who could do nothing wrong
too proud to bow to Phoebus as his boss
he took down Hektor, then shrugged off his life
the hero humanized through grievous loss
he lost his zest for war, or love, or wife
such grief bled all the pleasure from his world
let Agamemnon keep the stolen girl
