~ A/N - This my first attempt at a Dorian Gray story... its not the best thing I've ever written, but it's far from the worst! So I hope that it makes sense, and that you enjoy! ~


I saw you act that day and it was like light had finally been brought into my life, I had meaning… it didn't matter that one day I would lose my looks, for I knew that, if I had my way, you would be right beside me though it all. My gorgeous love, my perfect Rosalind.

Nevertheless, I am but a man.
I had told my friends how wonderful you were, how their lives would never be the same after seeing you act, and I truly believed it! I knew that my life was not the same after seeing you. I had fallen so deeply, I cared not what anyone thought of us!
On that fateful evening, however, you were an abomination! I couldn't believe my eyes… you acting, your talent, your gift, it was all but gone! You seemed nothing but a pretty face to all present! I knew you could do better.
But, for all my charm, I am but a man. You embarrassed me in front of my friends. That I could not stand!

I embarrassed you, I made you beg. You explained to me that it was because of your love for me that you could no longer act, for what was the point in acting true love when you had it right in front of you?
I chose to ignore you and detached myself from the situation.
I was unnecessarily cruel, I see that now.

And after these rash actions of mine, I lost you forever.
You, my perfect Rosalind, my dreadful Juliet… my Sibyl…my love.
You were the only one who could stop me becoming the devil I did.
You chose the easy way out, you never had to face life. What had you? Seventeen years? That is nothing! Nothing to a man who may live forever and never age a day.
You could have saved me Sibyl.
I blame you for how I am now.
However much I once loved you, this is not a letter of passion, of love.
This is a letter of reminiscence, of blame and of hatred. I am this way because of you. You left me to become what I am. And for that I shall never forgive you.

Goodbye Sibyl, you made my life, you destroyed it. Just as I destroyed yours.
I suppose there is a divine justice after all.
