A Letter,
So small and insignificant,
Until that day,
That day it arrived.
A messenger on horseback,
A letter from the capital,
Did my beloved see sense?
Did he finally get rid of that witch?
Alas, No.
The little white letter,
A death sentence,
Those cold words,
"You are of no use to me. Commit suicide,"
How I long to see his face,
Feel his breath upon my lips
But no longer,
I will no longer be able to feel at all.
I wish it hadn't come to this,
That witch Guo enchanted him,
A fall of a nation,
To her cruel hands.
No time for goodbyes,
Just a note, a tear and then a swift exit,
Out in to the cold,
Out to end it all on the bleak day.
A river with crystal cool water,
Snow on trees, bird song,
Peace, eternal peace,
I breathe no more.
No more will I see his smile,
His face, His voice,
It fades away to darkness,
Time to start anew.
AN: and that's it. Based on the historical event when Cao Pi ordered Zhen Ji to commit suicide. I find myself hating Guo more than Cao Pi though. I think Guo was the one who caused Zhen Ji's death not Cao Pi…although he was also slightly at fault… I just feel really sorry for Zhen Ji…first Yuan Xi and now Cao Pi. She doesn't have much luck with men. I don't like the idea of Zhen Ji being eternally sorrowful. It's depressing. I thinks it'd be good if she's happy now.
