Love Will Try To Get By

Five: She'll Break My Heart


There are so many things I wish to say to you. I want to yell in your face.

How could you forget me so easily?

Was I that easy to forget?

Why did you not care enough to love me?

Were you worth it?

Was our poorly disguised lust so apparent to everyone?

Were you worth it?

"Paris," and she says my name again. If only she weren't so wonderful...if only I could forget my love for her. "You know, then." Her tone is somewhat sad. "I have married Achilles. We are bound." She moves to leave, but turns back once and says, "I love him."

My heart stops.

Her beautiful eyes have cornered me once again.

I'm falling apart as she walks away towards where Achilles is waiting for her. So that they can leave together. Be together forevermore.

And I sink to the ground. So pitiful. In life she had me on her leash, and even in death...

I'm barely breathing now and I wonder why the gods have such fickle moods. I'm sure Athena and Hera have teamed up to make my life as hellish as possible.

Damn that golden apple!
