A/N: It's my second fanniversary today, and I set myself a challenge. For each of my favourite fandoms, I wanted to write a drabble. But a drabble from a unique perspective, something no one carefully ever thought about. I hope you enjoy reading this drabble.

Simple Love

I lie perfectly still.

From the way you held me, said my name and told me you loved me...

I thought you honestly did.

"Have you gorged yourself at last in your lust for blood?!"

But you love her! I retch, seeing you fuss over her veil. Can't you see her eyes spilling tears? That was my veil! I was ready to be your wife. You always whispered that at night. How I'd soon be yours... And now what?

With a callous hand I am cast away, falling into shadows.

And with that discordant tumble, my dreams break with me.

Because love can come from the most unexpected of places, even though the face that adores you can never openly show it. I would love to have some reviews, and of course constructive critique is never unwelcome.

R&R!
