Skye's Story

Once upon a time there was a boy who had recently had his heart broken. He convinced himself that it was all healed up and decided to find a new love. Not knowing where to find love, he went to the land of the singles.

In the land of the singles, he talked with and dated a few women. He was about to name it the land of the crazies and leave, until he met this awesome girl with blue streaks in her hair. When they met, they got along really well. So well, in fact, that neither wanted to part with the other.

They dated and fell in love with each other. But, both were afraid to tell the other person first. Eventually the girl, the braver of the two, told the boy how she felt. And, the boy happy to know the girl felt the same way said, "I love you, too."

Sadly, there relationship was strained by many factors. Their love was a difficult love. One day a troll said something terrible that hurt the girl. The girl told the boy about how she was hurt and wondered why the boy would be friends with the troll. The boy, who was too stupid for his own good, let the troll stay which caused much hurt to both the boy and girl. By the time the boy had finally seen the troll for what she was, it was too late.

The boy's and girl's relationship was extremely fragile at this point. They still loved each other, but hurt, confusion, and resentment clouded their hearts. The girl had a brilliant idea of absconding to a far away land to be together. They could eat, drink, and be merry. The boy, who was again stupid and less brave than the girl, wanted to go. The girl went traveling without the boy and begged the boy to follow. The girl felt rejected by the boy and was very hurt, and even though the boy finally did meet her in the far away land the girl had started to resent the boy.

The boy fell deeply in love with the girl while in the faraway land. It was magical and wonderful and being the fool he was he never told her how much he loved her. So, when they returned from their adventure, the girl decided that she would date other boys. This hurt the boy very much because he wanted the girl to be his and only his. But, the boy had a lot of pride, and did not let the girl know he's true feelings.

Weeks went by and the girl, who was still very hurt too, told the boy what she needed from him. And, the boy was hurt by her request. So, when the girl asked to be only his, he rejected her which continued the cycle of hurt.

One day, the boy did the most foolish thing ever. He decided to do the same thing the girl was doing, date other people. While on the date he only thought of the girl he loved. When he later talked to his love, he told her a lie and he regretted it immediately. The boy wanted to say, "No, no. That's not what really happened." But, he was the biggest fool in all the land and wanted to protect the heart he loved from his mistake.

But, lies are not little things. They are big, evil, awful creatures. And, the lie he told made the boy's heart ache. He wanted to tell the girl, but was so afraid to lose her. He loved her. Loved her very deeply. The next night he showed the girl how much he loved her. He poured his heart into hers, but alas he failed to do two important things that night. Tell her about the lie and tell her how much he cared.

Sadly, the girl found out about the boy's lie without the boy telling her. And, instead of saying, "Yes, it was an awful thing to lie to you. I'm sorry, this is what happened." The boy spun new lies. And, each new lie made him sadder and sadder. He hated deceiving the girl for he knew it was wrong to treat someone he loved this way. And, summoning all the courage he had, which was much less than what the girl had, he told the girl about his lies.

The girl was hurt very deeply by the boy's lies. And, the boy loathed himself for telling them. The boy loathed himself for hurting his love. The boy loathed himself for dating another girl. The boy told the girl, "I am sorry, my love. I will do anything to make it up to you, but I know not what to do. Please, give me another chance."

The girl could not think of anything to fix the hurt he had caused. She hated the boy. And, the boy deserved it. The boy not knowing what to do comprised a poem and hoped the girl would someday forgive him.

The Fool
A boy loved a girl
He should have told her
He sided with a troll
Instead of crushing it with a boulder

He broke her heart
When he should have held her close
He told a lie
That hurt the one he loved the most

He shopped for flowers
He shopped for jewelry
But alas the long shipping dates
Made it seem like tomfoolery

And so he sat
Scribbling this poem with a pen
Recalling the girl
Whose love he did not want to see end

Her heart is beautiful
Unlike this foolish guy
I wish my head were in the clouds
So I could be with my Skye
