Vide Cor Meum
I was never one for Guy/Marian but for this situation it fits. Set 9 days after the death of Marian - Guy finds time to reflect. Written in relation to a sonnet from Dante's "La Vita Nuova".
Vide Cor Meum, from "La Vita Nuova"
Chorus: And thinking of her
Sweet sleep overcame me
I am your master
See your heart
And of this burning
heart
Your heart
(Chorus: She trembling)
Obediently
eats.
Weeping, I saw him then depart from me.
Joy is converted
To bitterest tears
I am in peace
My heart
I am in peace
See my heart
It has been nine days since the death of Marian and Guy has spoken to no one, not a single tear has escaped his eyes nor an emotion from his soul. He is numb, lost in the reality of life. Right now he stands at a tower window, looking at stars that seem to dance between moving clouds. It is here that he allows himself to reflect and signs of life show, for the first time in days, on Guy's face.
Behind the eyes that have been able to conceal all emotion a scene continues to replay. It is of Marian defiant as ever, striding toward him with enough force to discourage an army. Guy is not discouraged, he feels a love for this woman to which nothing can compare. His mind is calm, knowing that he can defeat the woman before him, his heart however, is wild with the hope that she, his love, has finally decided to come away with him. Her mouth moves but Guy can hear no words, though he can feel the pain of what the unheard words imply.
Time freezes and Guy's master, Love stands before them. In his hands he holds, Guy's heart on fire with pain and hatred. Love faces Marian and offers her Guy's burning heart, trembling she devours it with the last repetition of the words "I love Robin".
Feeling nothing but pain and hate Guy plunges his sword into Marian, watches as she falls.
We can watch as Guys shoulders begin to tremble and hot tears of rage begin to fall down his face. This rage is not felt toward Robin, the man who stole his love, or even to his Marian. The rage that we see overpower Guy is toward himself and his self-destruction of his one chance at happiness. It is a while before the trembling stops and as it does the rage becomes sorrow that to Guy runs deeper than the blackest pits of Hell. Overcome with sadness Guy falls forward, into the night and watches the stars disappear from above him. As he closes his eyes for the last time Guy sees before him his love at peace with his heart.
A/N: I know it isn't the best but I really wanted to get it up … I'll probably rewrite it soon. This is my first Robin Hood FanFic and I don't normally write like this so I'm sorry if it got a little confusing, if it was let me know and I will try and write some kind of explanation :) – Reviews are always appreciated :)
