Villanelle for Edmund

Summary:

Thoughts on knowing Eustace will return and he will not.

Notes:

Work Text:

It is my turn to wander in the dark
To feel the weight of being turned away
I never thought that life could be so stark

My cousin, he has but begun the arc
Through Narnia again, he'll pass that way
It is my turn to wander in the dark

Stark and bare, the years will leave a mark
I've seen it in my brother's eyes betrayed
I never thought that life could be so stark

May one of us at least sail in that bark
To waves that sing with mermaids in the bay
It is my turn to wander in the dark

May one of us at least still feel the spark
Of dancing dryads under trees that sway
I never thought that life could be so stark

Without the breath of Aslan, I embark
His promises alone my fears allay
It is my turn to wander in the dark
I never thought that life could be so stark
