A/N: This is a songfic inspired by Taylor Swift's "White horse"
Disclaimer: I don't own the carachters nor Taylor Swift's song.
Say you're sorry
That face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I pace back and forth all this time
'Cause I honestly believed in you
Holding on
And days drag on
Stupid girl,
I should have known, I should have known
He promised Athena that he's going to leave Amphitrite, she believed in him, she shouldn't have. She should have known been the goddess of Wisdom. She was stupid.
"I'm sorry" says the love of her life. The days dragging, passing slowly, the biggest pain she'd ever feel. But she can't blame him, not with that angel face.
[Chorus]
I am a goddess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood; this is a small mount,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come around (Poseidon "created" the horses)
What was she thinking? This wasn't a Hollywood movie. This was Olympus and she was a goddess. She is that "other". The one who was willing to break a marriage. She wasn't who he really belong to. That was Amphitrite, she was the one he'll sweep off her feet, lead her up the stairwell. Everything that he promise her was an illusion, a dream, and she was the dreamer.
Baby I was naive,
Got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
I had so many dreams
About you and me
Happy endings
Now I know
Every time she didn't sleep at nights, thinking about him, his beautiful sea-green eyes. Dreaming of him and that ideal moment, when he would kiss her in front of all the Olympians, declaring their love to the world. That happily ever after that she would never get. Now she knows that. She knows that he lied, she knows that she's no "competition" for his "queen". That lucky girl. And she doesn't even know how lucky she really is.
[Chorus]
I am a goddess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood; this is a small mount,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come around
This was too painful, Aphrodite tries to comfort her, talking about, how he'll come around again, how she knows they're "meant to be". "This it's just a "step-back" in your relationship" she says. Athena doesn't believe her, she wants to, but she can't. But this it's the goddess of love. Of course she's right.
And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry
"I'm so so sorry Poseidon, I love you more than anything in the world. But I can't" The tears are now falling down her face. "Please don't do this to us". And then she realizes.
'Cause I'm not your goddess, this ain't our fairytale
I'm gonna make a vow until someday
someone actually treats me well
This is a big world that was a small mount
There in my rear view mirror disappears now
And it's too late for you and your white horse
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now
"You did this to us, Poseidon"
"I love you, Athena, I'll leave her, I promise"
"And I love you, but, but I deserve better"
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Oh, it's too late
To catch me now
"It's too late, Poseidon".
