I love him. I give him robe. It burns. He dies. I kill myself. I am sorry.
Deianeira was Heracles's wife who gave him a robe dipped in centaur blood, thinking it was a love charm. It burned him alive. She's been the accidental killer, the suicide, the wife who destroyed what she loved.
How it opens
She's dying, accidental, sorry, loving.
I stand here, the robe still clutched in my trembling hands, the scent of burning flesh clinging to my skin.
I gave it to him, thinking it would bring us closer.
The irony is not lost on me, the wife who loved too much, who killed too soon.
Tell me, do you see the love in my eyes, or just the guilt that consumes me?
I am sorry, so very sorry, but I cannot undo what has been done.
Will you let me find peace, or will you keep me here, in this eternal moment of regret?
