As the realisation of what I'm about to do sets in, I shed tears; but for whom? For me, the pitied girl in the streets killing so she could live a better life, or the man who stands infront of me, kissing away my tears?
A shiver runs down my spine. I will. I can't. I won't. I'll do it
May the bells never ring for midnight, so I'll never commit such an atrocious crime to the one who I do not know behind the mask, with my right hand sli[pping foward to rid you of what you have.
what we are
She is a princess, one that wears the perfume of gunshots, with a air of grace and life-lomng perfection practice. My mask; it fades and show my princess who I am. Her gasp of pure shock is both satisfying and sad at the same time, I am proud, now she, an assaian of royalty, sees me, her prince. I cannot help the sadness tht overtakes me, will she still love me, now that we are seperated by class and hate, hate so strong and yet so weak that it can be made into a mask, but moleded into regret at the very last second?
what we'll never be
I turn to run, tearing the hem of my skirt with waterfalls on my cheeks; and yet it is the prince that lies behind me, bleeding from a knife spawned from my own hatred of what unfairness the world threw at me that stops me in my tracks, that makes me turn snd fall to me knees and cup his face in my hands, whispering apologies that are flimsy and fly with the breeze. It is never enough. What I have done is a crime, but can a crime be excused by love?
what we were before
They'll say no. That nothing is excusable by it. But, even if just for a few seconds we knew, even if for a few minutes we held on to with all our grip, we knew, even if for a moment it was enough. They'll say I don't know. They'll say even if it was, it would never last. But they are wrong; it would last forever. You stopped my tears. I know now, that my love is not a one sided story.
So, my first published story! For this one, I wanted you to be able to pick what characters would be in this situation, based of off the song, 'Cendrillion'. Let me know what you think!
