Biggest Regret

I was trying to write a 100 word story on my biggest regret... as you can see, it's not a story, and it's more than 100 words... so... I think I failed this one...

You were an angel
descended from the heavens,
a glowing beauty,
and you smiled upon me.

The harsh barbarian,
a brutal exterior,
a frozen interior.
and I couldn't understand.

How could it be?
Why was I blessed?
Why was I the fool?
Could it have been true?

I promised I'd wait for you,
nine months in hellfire,
nine months I was tortured,
just to see your face again.

You returned,
and all was well.
The ice age ended.

The happiest day of my life,
all was well,
glory and...
love.

We were happy.
But it could not be.
For blood is thicker than love.
And I had a promise.

Nine months in hell,
Two weeks in heaven,
A fair trade.

The same thing that reunited us,
split us.
I suffered because you made me promise,
And I left because I promised him.

I could not let him stand alone,
He was their new target,
He was my blood brother,

I stood by him,
as we fled the Hellfire
for the toils of Purgatorio
You returned to the Ninth Sphere.

I was a fool,
I should have stayed,
but I would do it again,
that's who I am.

We wouldn't have gotten so far,
if I had been different,
would we?

I know you're still there,
but I'll leave again,
it would be best,
if you just forgot me.
