Hearts Are Hurting

DISCLAIMER:
XENA, GABRIELLE, AND EVEN THIS POEM ARE THE PROPERTY OF MCA/UNIVERSAL/RENNAISANCE PICTURES. I'M JUST USING THEM TO WRITE THIS POEM. NO COPYWRITE INFRINGEMENT WAS INTENDED.

NOTE:
THIS, UNLIKE THE OTHERS, IS NOT AN ORIGINAL POEM. IT IS THE SONG SUNG BY GABBY AND XENA IN THE BITTER SUITE. IT IS BEAUTIFUL, AND I THOUGHT IT DESERVED A PLACE IN THIS WONDERFUL WEB PAGE.
THANK YOU FOR READING MY NOTE.

AND NOW.....

Xena:

My heart is hurting beyond words.
The pain is tearing up my soul.
These days have seen my spirit die;
My life propelled out of control.

My wounds lie naked to the world;
My dept of suffering exposed.
This damaged past can never heal,
Until this nightmare book is closed.

Gabrielle:

My heart is hurting beyond words.
The pain is tearing up my soul.
Please tell me, how can I retrieve
The life that all this sadness stole?

Because of you this happened.
Because you had to carry out
Your vengful little plans.

Xena:

It's you who should feel guilty.
Because of you, my child is dead.
His blood is on your hands!

Gabrielle:

If only you had never brought me there...

Xena:

If only you had done what you were told.

Gabrielle:

It's you who's to be blamed!

Xena:

And you should be ashamed!

Gabrielle:

It's your fault!

Xena:

No it's yours!

Gabrielle:

How could you?!

Xena:

How could you!

*Xena and Gabby go on and on with the "It's your fault!" thing, and I'm
tired of writing Xena: and Gabrielle: over and over."

--In memory of the infamous rift of Xena and Gabrielle.
