Written as a response to Nehal's challenge: Post-'Departure'
Tess fic, has to use the following words: Ice, Rock, Sparkle,
Putrid |
I thought I could win.
I thought I could have it all-
All I've ever wanted, all I've ever cared for is lost and forgotten.
I've betrayed them, but I had no choice.
I can't win.
~
The jagged rocks form my cell.
My skin rips and tears as I bang against its walls.
My blood drips and tears threaten to fall.
I am lost. I am scared.
I am alone.
~
Days pass.
And a putrid smell lingers in the air. I no longer hear the voice
that cried out in the night- instead, I could smell him.
Soon.
Soon, to be my fate as well.
~
The days have stretched into weeks, months.
At some point, I've lost track.
I no longer know and I honestly don't care.
It doesn't matter, since I've lost the only ones that I've truly loved.
Did you know that I loved you?
Did you know I loved your sparkling blue eyes and contagious laughter?
I miss you.
~
My thoughts run rampant in the icy silence.
I whisper your name.
Only for it to echo against the walls and laugh at me.
I know I've ruined my one chance at happiness.
~
Sometimes, I think I hear your voice.
Sometimes, I think you cared.
It's not long now.
~
My hand trembles, it's so cold.
The pain of my betrayal hurts more then the pain inflicted on me.
My punishment for not bringing him the ‘true heir’, has
reached its toll.
He is treated well, our son.
He is to be his heir anyway- no one knows the truth but me.
I'm sorry.
~
Silence.
It hurts to breathe.
My vision blurs.
My dying wish is that you remember that I loved you.
Save him.
~
