One Last Breath

by WanderingShade   Nov 9, 2012


These chunks of armor keep falling off...
I can feel each hit...
Is my time up?

I can see my blade dulling with every strike...
It's going to break soon...
Is this really my end?

These wounds keep appearing...
I can't even dodge anymore...
Am I really going to die?

"Don't quit..."
The voice whispers...
As my vision fades...
I can see her face...
And the tears that fall...
I can't die here...
Not without her...

The armor was holding me back...
I can feel my speed returning...
This is my chance!

My blade is still in tacked...
I've got one last strike...
It's all going to end!

The pain is leaving...
As I charge with one last breath...
I'M NOT DYING HERE!!

    HOLY....MOSES!!!

    Dude....listen, I dont even think Ive read a poem like this, and if I have, I never use to like them so I'd just ignore it...

    I LOVED THIS...I feel like it needs a different category..too be honest, like under love! You were fighting for your woman in this piece and I loved the whole battle seen this played out...LOVEDDDDD the Caps lock on your last line!!! All I saw was you charging with a sword in the air screaming that...brilliant imagery..

    As my vision fades...
    I can see her face...
    And the tears that fall...
    I can't die here...
    Not without her...

    ^^ literally, this made me a bit teary eyed and also made me smile...I think thats adorable...

    Again, I don't think this should be a dark poem because their is an awesome love story your are trying to hide here...excellent!
