Death's AnthemA Poem by EricaThe start to a story that I am considering to write. Here, you'll simply dive into the main girl's mind.My hallow chest aches, as the appocolyptic world shakes. It's going to fade away.
Fade away, like dreams, that are forced away too soon. Fade away, like stars, that get blocked by the harsh moon.
Piercing eyes haunt the shadows, they linger on my words. Frenzied creatures prepare to pounce, at the slightest hint of the absurd.
Hit it, Death's anthem is playing Providing a rhythmic beat. Back then I wasn't a fighter, I passively accepted defeat.
They are closing in, gipping me, now, and pulling me under, with hands as cold as icicles and voices commanding as thunder.
Shiver, weakling.
They boom, my body complies as I force the tears back, away from my eyes.
Useless, They smirk, as I try to gain control, but their words have already taken a toll.
I'm the puppet, now, and their strings hold me back. I'm the puppet, now, and there is no going back. © 2010 EricaAuthor's Note
