the breaking of a heart


"there is a way to run up a mountain"
he told the princess

"but I only know how to fly"
she replied

"you have to run"
he said firmly

"it is impossible , running is only done in fairy tales"
she said with voice breaking

"then our ways have to part my love"
the young warrior almost whispered
_ he did not look her in the eyes as he gently let go of her small hand
and started walking

She was never mentioned by him ever after

hi there Lourdes this poem so simply attaches to the heart and breaks it as you read a very sad narrative imagery is fine and so reminisvent of many of Burne Jones paintings in the Briar Rose series
