feredarStory: as i lay dying
Year: 980 FY
Characters: Fera
Warnings: Character death
Notes: This is a Bref double, a French sonnet form. With an extra-short extra line at the end because it needed to be there and didn't fit. This takes place in the Incest AU.
as i lay dying, here in our bedroom, as i fade away,
the shouting around me echoes down to whispers,
all our guards whisper-shouting 'what do we do'
and 'she's not breathing' and 'oh gods no' and simply 'no'.
as i lay dying, staring up--the only way i can--pieces of the ceiling,
fragments of broken lapis tiles, broken in that boy's rage,
disrupt the mosaic, made when we got married--for me, so you told me.
they're falling on my head, the fragments, the tiles, sounding soft,
not broken at all. it doesn't hurt, though it should--they
feel like breaths of air, not sharp at all. i wonder, darling,
did this happen because of you? did you send him here? you may,
i think, have decided to force your father's hand. you
are so devoted (but to your cause, not to me). as i fade away,
i believe that it was you, you killed me, from a distance. but i love you.
i forgive you.
