Love and fate
Chapter 1 The broken heart 💔
In twilight's hush, where shadows play, A heart lay broken, lost in dismay, A princess fair, with beauty's might, Had fled her castle, and the cold, harsh light. Her eyes, once bright, now dim with tears, Reflected the sorrow, and the passing years, Her soul, a flame, that once burned so bright, Now flickered faintly, in the dark of night. A marriage arranged, without her consent, To a man who didn't love her, with a heart bent, On power and wealth, not on love's sweet fire, Had left her heart, a heavy, aching desire.
She thought of all, the dreams she'd held dear, The love she'd longed for, the happiness so near, But now, it seemed, all was lost, and she was alone, A stranger in a world, that was not her own. In this dark hour, she felt so lost and blue, A fragile leaf, torn from its branch anew, She wandered through, the forest's silent night, Searching for solace, a guiding light. And then she saw, a cottage in the distance far, A warm and cozy haven, a gentle shining star, A place where love and kindness, might still reside, A refuge from the storm, where she could hide. With hesitant steps, she approached the door, And knocked softly, hoping to find solace once more, The door creaked open, and a young man stood tall, With eyes that shone, like stars in the night's dark hall. His smile was warm, his voice was kind and low, As he invited her in, and asked her to stay and know, The princess felt, a sense of peace descend, As she entered the cottage, and her heart could mend. And though she knew, she'd never be the same, The gentle stranger's kindness, brought her heart some gain, A sense of hope, a glimmer of light, In the darkness of her sorrow, a gentle, loving sight. But little did she know, the young man's heart, Had also been broken, and torn apart, By love's cruel hand, and the pain of the past, A story hidden deep, behind his gentle mask at last. And so they sat, in the warm and cozy night, Two broken hearts, beating with a gentle, loving light, Their stories untold, their hearts still sore, But in each other's eyes, they saw a glimmer of hope once more.
