The Bitter and Suite of It
by ArdentTly
They stood there,
those two, with nothin to do
But watch the bodies covered with flame.
While Gab needed to talk, Xe took a walk
On the wild side, all filled with blame.
So Gabby went on,
to stay with Amazons
Ephiny was a true friend.
Gabby wanted to die, for Xena she'd cry
For the rest of her life til the end.
Then Xena came in,
taking life on the chin
And dragged her poor Gabby around.
No one was more shocked, her temper full cocked
Than the regent, her teeth she ground.
As Xe took off by
horse, not Argo of course
And headed out to the sea.
She held Gabby high, reaching up to the sky
'Vengeance!', she shouted with glee.
Then Gabby awoke,
and she sure went for broke
Yelling she hated her Xe.
She took a full run, and both were undone
To Illusia they went via the sea.
Now Xe was all
hurt, her heart filled with dirt
From burying her only son.
Took it out on the bard, love splintered to shards
She wanted the pain to be done.
But she'd have to
wait, cos the Fates had a date
With a future consisting of Hope.
Both filled with such hate, each detested their mate;
They were both at the end of their rope.
When Xe finally
faced Him, the great lie from Chin
She saw that she couldn't be mean.
So she poured out her heart, right from the start
And wiped both their slates clean.
Now the season is
over, and Dahok has drove her
Poor Gabby down to the abyss.
Now no one will know, where the love of love goes
And how to get back to that kiss.
The Bitter and
Suite, lets have a repeat!
Let their loving show nothing amiss.
For Gabs loves her Xe, its so easy to see
It's all in the lips they have kissed.
THE END
