Clare's Heart (inspired by Goddess Minerva)
He went away. and he took our baby with him.
no one ever loved me that much.
I know they think I’m crazy, it doesn’t matter.
I’m not as stupid as they think. If my Soldier,
my Silver Soldier, returns and I’m not here, it
will hurt him, I know it will.
touching his silver ring, the one he gave me,
and a silver chain to wear it on, I remember
how he said he loved me. when I dream, my
dreams are silver, because he’s there.
and I remember that night, he made love to me.
it was my first time. it hurt, but only for a little
while. he held me so gently, as if I would break
in his arms.
oh my God, it was so beautiful! I think about it,
and I want to touch myself, but I won’t, because
that part of me belongs to him. and my heart,
my heart does too.
I watched him sleep then, he looked so peaceful, like
he was sleeping on a cloud, really, really close to heaven.
and I knew, I knew right then that he loved me. how
could he look so content, if he wasn’t in love.
the train will come, it will bring him back to me.
because if it doesn’t, it would be the cruelest thing
in the world, and nothing could be that cruel.
that man, he’s so big. he must be waiting for someone
too. I don’t know why he keeps looking at me.
I should brush my hair…

oh, feddeler! you captured her heart perfectly. it almost feels like she stopped growing after her silver soldier left. like she is in a perpetual state of being 16/17. very nice! i'm honored that you took the time to flesh out Clare a bit more. thanks!
This made me cry , like cry...
