My heart is broken

Dearest  Fabled masses of old.

Behold a piece inspired by my latest favourite song “My heart is broken,” form one of my favourite band Evanescence. Read this and envision it the next time your give it a listen.

The empress of night and shadow lay in fear-stain sheets as her bloody tears marred her white linen bedding. He had not returned to her side as he promised to do. She had to leave; she had to find her jaded lover who now battled the heavens to stay with her. She made her way from high tower-loft bedroom to the lower castle where should find the door. In her mind melodious angst tempered a storm brewing deep inside, “I pulled away to face the pain. I close my eyes and drift away, over the fears that I will never find a way to heal my soul and I will wander until the end of time torn away from you....My heart is broken...sweet sleep my dark angel, deliver us from sorrow’s hold: Over my hard heart,”  came her mournful soliloquy.

Her hand pull at the door when suddenly a raging gale sweeps it off its hinges as she flails to the floor. Ahead her eyes tear up in gaze of the battle she knew would consume her dreams. Gathering her strength she forced herself to her feet and exists the castles as the wind rapes her hair, sending it about her as angry whips. Her red corseted and black rhinestone encrusted dress ablaze with the dry red air that stole the night away. “I can’t go on living this way and I can’t back the way I came. Chained to the fear that I will never find a way to heal my soul and I will wander ‘till the end of time...half a life without you. My heart is broken, sweet sleep my dark angel.”

Struggling on into the bright red light of battle she fights the ferocious wind that threatens to steal her life. Her hopes and dreams are tied to this one moment. She must be what other refused to be. High above thunder crashes as she sees him battling one just like him. The angels rage as gods amongst men. He fights for his soul and for her heart. “Change-open your eyes to the light. I’ve denied for so long, oh so long...

...say goodbye, goodbye.”

A great light engulfs the heavens and clouds above and she shields her eyes as an angry thunderclap reverberates over land and sky. From the air falls a massive being, with tattered wings. Her broken lover lay before her barely conscious and she rushes to his side. “My heart is broken...release me I can’t hold on. ...”

The vampiress kisses her angel; biting his lip to taste his blood and feels is not-quite diminished life fill into hers. “My heart is broken sweet sleep my dark angel, deliver us from sorrow’s  hold.”
