She fell to her knees as she let the tears fall from her face. She knew what had to be done for her people. He needed and heir to his throne and as hard as they tired she couldn’t give him one. So she had to hand to duty over to other woman. It pained her and for the night her quiet sobs were the only thing to keep her company while he was with her. She begged for sleep to take her away even if it was only for an hour or two. She knew the truth being he only loved her and this killed him as much as it was slowly killing her but she knew their was no other way. Hours passed and still sleep invaded her and the tears only continued to flow. Why had it come to this? Why had she not been able to bare her own? These thoughts continued to play over and over and over. The tears continued to fall and she knew this would be how it was every night he had to be with her. Every night he wasn’t here…. Her tears would fall.
