Before We're Dead

Love, you should calm down

Must we run another mile?

I think we’ve lost them

I know they won’t find us now

 

We are no longer held captives

We have all our liberties

To love and bond with all

And to fear and hate all who’ve hurt us

 

Yes, we murdered our leader

Stabbed him in his back

Choked him with our pain

And made him drink our poison of lies

 

Now, we run with a bounty on our heads

And power coursing through our veins

Hope keeping our hearts pounding

Our mind set on finding home before we’re dead

Ugh, looking back on this poem now.... it kind of sucks, haha!

it's like an extract within an exciting story..but clever enough for us to understand the whole without being given it..nice job

this was an interesting read....a story poem where the speaker was talking to a loved one about a recent event. i would like to know why the speaker and her loved one killed (or maybe simply betrayed) their leader...i would be very interested to hear more from this character for you have certainly intrigued me...let me know if she has anything more to say
