29. I Ask You, Nyx
Nyx, cease this madness, your letters implore,
Though I've ordered, commanded, you to write no more.
A mere townsfolk, your voice shall not sway,
My choices in life, you've no right to gainsay.
I will marry the Grand Duke of Fuego for Luminairea's reign,
No room for your presence in my noble domain.
Do not confuse me, with your words of desire,
For I've quenched that flame, put out that fire.
You left me, remember, in my time of despair,
Now you dare to return, with your love-laden stare.
My misery's greater, my heart colder than ice,
In this kingdom's grandeur, I'll pay any price.
My heart is fragile, like a porcelain dove,
In your hands, Nyx, you hold my first love.
Do not destroy me, I beg, I implore,
For in your absence, my heart aches evermore.
After my wedding, this land's future secure,
I beg you, Nyx, let our connection no longer endure.
I wish not to see you, to hear my name from your voice,
For I am a duchess, and in my role, I must rejoice.
With hopes, I ask you, Nyx, fade into the night,
Let me fulfill my destiny in the grandest of light.
Your memory, a treasure, I'll keep hidden from sight,
In the quietest of moments, my heart whispers its plight.
I must endure the suffering caused by my fate.
Duchess Iris
