Description scratched on the inside of your metal corpse,
without breathing, because you couldn't, and you didn't.

can I call you beautiful again,
or just disaster in the airwaves that you called home
odysseus looking for stability,
 and killing all his friends.

the gods smiled on you, once, and you learned:
      never trust a man without a name,
      never let them touch you again.

I love the reference of Greek mythology, and how you tied it in to the theme of your poem.  

It's very short, but you got your point across effectively. :3 I feel as if this poem resonates mainly because anyone can find connection to it. It makes people think. :3

Great job.

Thank you! I'm totally into using greek myth that way. I do Achilles too often. And again, thank you so much! Exactly what I want my poetry to do

No problem.  

You can never reference too often. As long as it fits, it doesn't matter.
