A/N: Written for Sheep Queen on The Percy Jackaon Fanfiction Challenges Forum-The 1,2,3,4, Challenge. (Prompts-Fall/ Zeus, Athena/ watch, listen, try/ roll, grey, die, curtain.)

Is it true that when you fell, that you cried?

.

Cried out for me possibly?

.

I doubt that

I won't believe it, not for a second

I won't even bother trying

I can't hoodwink myself into thinking our flame is still burning

.

It extinguished long ago

The wicker now rots

.

Did you cry out in pain?

.

I can see that,

Your clothes ragged as they were the day you killed your father

Fallen from grace, rolling in the dirt

Shriveling up without precious Athena to guide you

.

Will you die?

Without me apparently you'll be fine

For you are king

No need for the wife behind the curtain

.

Take a bow

Your time is up

The play is coming to a close

.

I love you

Is that so hard to believe?

That while you don't bother to look at me that I see you?

.

I watch you,

I listen and you could care less

.

We're in the gray

The leaves are falling

Winter is coming

Fall is leaving

And yet, here we are, forever dancing

Waltzing our way through eternity

.

You think this will work

It has, hasn't it for eons

But now, no longer shall I hide

No more will I weep over your antics

Drunk or sober, it matters not

Faithful and you pay no mind

One day, I vow, I will give up

I will give you up

.

No longer will you be my problem

And when I do

You shall rue the days,

the years,

the decades and centuries that you neglected me

.

Goodbye

.

And as the world burns I will leave you in your misery

Weeping as I did for you

No tears shall I shed

You are undeserving

.

As I am

.

I know my faults

I know them well

Though, I know my strengths

.

I lie

I ensnare

I seek retribution

.

And you my dear

You are my weakness

Once my lover, King and lord

You have been demoted

But I am not a fool

I bid my time

.

I lie

I ensnare

I seek retribution

.

And finally the symphony will end

The chorus will run dry

The performers will bow

You will bow

High on euphoria and triumph

And escape behind stage

To brag to your humble wife

Who is no longer there

.

What will you do?

.

For I no longer care

Or perhaps that too, is a lie

I do and will forever care

.

So I will sit back,

My love for you forces me to stay

Watch one last time

Unassuming in the audience as a new play begins

Watching as columns crumble

.

And you, my love

Indeed, as you and I know, will

Fall, deeply and permanently

.

Clapping softly,

Yes, I've enjoyed the show

Your song has ended

Just as mine has begun

.

The spring has Sprung

Bursting into life

Bringing promises of summer

.

As I sit upon your throne

I guide your subjects

Who are now my own

.

I, unlike you

Pay attention

I watch and listen

I hear the crys

.

And I lead

.
