One Man Army
A Poem by
Taylor Ann
There is only me
My own army
I am the army
There is only me.
The cannon sounds
I race forwards
screaming,
running towards
defeat,
reaching out.
Gun raised high
my eyes lock on
the target
I run towards her
irises identical
both holding the
image
of harmony.
Her lips part
the silent
whispers,
falling from my
mouth
to hers.
Her heart throbs
to the beat of my
mind
We both stand
still,
breathing heavy.
My finger
twitches
on the trigger.
She is me.
I am her.
Bam.
My eyes roll
back,
her knees
buckling.
I reach out
as we fall to our
knees
our fingers
touching.
Neither of us
make it out
alive.

That was very powerful. Very nice read that allowed for some uniquely dark themes.
I am sorry you feel that way though. It will get better, though...if you keep your head up.
