War Of The Night (part 2)

War Of The Night (part 2)

A Poem by A.Lee
"

part two

"

The light streams through her window

As she opens up her eyes

Once again she made it through
She begins to realize

 

She stands up looks around

Sees the scratches in the wall

The places where her nails dug deep

While she was trying not to fall

 

Her eyes feel swollen to the touch

From the tears she shed last night

But she shakes it off and prays in thanks

That she didn’t lose the light

 

Today she will do better

She makes a silent vow

She’ll build a wall so strong, so high

The dark won’t hurt her now

 

But when the night begins to fall

And rears its head again

She learns no wall is high enough

To save her from this pain

 

So day by day she gathers light
And stores it in her heart
Although she won't win every fight
She won't be torn apart

Author's Note

A.Lee
For those who have read my poem 'War Of The Night' I said that I couldn't decide on an ending for it, so today I decided to play around with a few different endings and see if I could come up with something I liked. If not, I'll just leave it as is. This is the first one I came up with.

I like this ending; I wouldn't change a thing--especially, the last line. I, also, liked the poem, as a whole. I have been there, did that, so to speak. Very good writing; I love your poems!
