The Spy

I tried to do it your way

I tried but I was scared

You wanted me to stay

You wanted me to care

 

I developed a sound

I enveloped the ground

You held me tight

Said it was right

 

Fear is what you had shown

Your cover had been blown

Your lies I knew,

You could not tell the truth

 

As I felt your last breath

And watched the final

Heave of your chest

My mission vital

 

As I leave you in the dark

 

Author's Note

What can I say? I love the single line melodrama ending.

Thanks John, I tried to really look at a moment when everything begins to unwind. I'm glad you've enjoyed it and may your pen never run dry.
