Why This Fate

Rated: PG

Disclaimers: Xena and Ares don't belong to me, they belong to Renaissance. I think that Gabrielle and Xena are just friends and that Xena and Ares belong together. NO SUBTEXT! I really hate that. I know that this is probly a really bad poem but hey, I just wrote down whatever came to mind and I was really tired!

Plot: This is a poem about Xena's thoughts of Ares. Drat, now I've given it all away.

Dedications: Tali, Something Royal, Prue, Illyandria, and everyone at Xena Ares Shippers and everyone who thinks that Xena and Ares belong together.

By: Xandra

Enjoy…

I know we're destined to be,
Our bond runs so deep
But in this world, this time,
We're enemies.
Who we are is not even the beginning of it; we just are products of the world
we grew up in,
It just can't be though,
Him, loving me?

Is this what destiny has planned for us?
A world of games and traps?
Just for us?
Is there no escape? no map?

Is there something I don't know?
Could it be the answer to this riddle?
If destiny allows…
Because of our twisted pasts,
Today we're stronger still,
We're still apart.
But maybe, just maybe someday we'll be free
Of all the pain and suffering,
All the tricks and all the games,
And maybe, I'll love you back.
