The Rogue came to me in the night with no intentions of falling in love. My life is based on fairy tales and happy endings; kissing Toads, and waiting for my prince charming. His was based on the moment. He only cares for memories.
All alone in the big dark tower, I ponder what I have done to drive the Rogue away. I had him blinded with my magic, but his wandering ways have caught up with him. I cannot stop him. I cannot call him for love and support no longer. He has learned of my wicked magic and I can no longer keep him. He cannot stay in one place. The boy is cursed forever to wander the world in search of a greater power, a greater happiness that I cannot give him.
Maybe one day he will find it and come back to me, but for now I sit here in this tower, ever waiting for what he has stolen from me. A Rogue does not ever leave empty handed. He has stolen my heart, never to return it. It seems this was the boy’s intention all along. After all, rogues are untrustworthy thieves.
As I sit here in my lonely tower, always questioning, I’ve come to see this very clearly. The Rogue is not the one cursed after all, for he has many adventures. I, a dreamer of happy endings and true love, am the one cursed. Because happily ever after is an awfully long time…
I stare down at the forest from my tower. The Rogue is wandering those woods now. “Goodbye my love,” he whispers to me in the night. I can hear it, blowing through the crack in the window. I sigh and close the porthole to my soul. The emptiness where my heart should be does not bleed; for I have filled with hollow promises and lost dreams that I hope will one day come true. I turn to my bed, “Slumber seize me! Let me dream of happiness and love! Send me to a blissful place forever!” Sleep obeys my call.
He rides the wind. Following the sound of it as it blows through the trees. Follow me! Adventure is what you want. It is in your blood and beats through your heart. You cannot run from it. He looks once more at the dark tower. “I must never return. I’m sorry my darling.” The wind blows wildly in victory. He puts on his mask, hiding any weaknesses. “It wasn’t meant to be. It wasn’t meant to be.” He repeats himself as he crosses into the darkness of the forest. “I’m like the wind, free to roam the world. This is what I want.”Comments
