My eyes are forced downward
I do not want to see the devastation that has now been cast upon this earth because of me
But I'm tired of being afraid
I choke back the tears and cling to those words
those three words that you spoke to me
and know that whatever happens,
you'll always be here ready to put me back together
as I shatter in your arms.
There's a war raging on right behind us
but we don't look back
we can't look back
We have to find a way to fix this.
I know my own strength
I know my wrath can turn into power if I just concentrate
and I know that I have grown
Because no matter what, I have me. And that's enough.
I'm going to need all the confidence I can get for what I am about to do.
Clinging onto the last shred of hope you inspired deep within me,
I turn and face the bloodied masses
and let everything go.
Everybody freezes on my silent command
And looks toward me
The ground fixes itself,
The trees stop trembling
The wind dies down and comes to me where I let the power of it coarse through my bloodstream.
Using this energy I open my mouth
and begin speaking to every tattered soldier
now sanding in place on the battlefield
And I tell them its okay
I tell them the war is over
I feel the wave of relief fly over them like its something tangible.
Then I close my eyes,
exhausted from fighting
but I know I can't collapse yet
I turn and rush towards you
and let you in on my biggest secret of all
"I love you too" I tell you
And behind us there is chaos
And in front of us is a new world waiting to be formed
But the earth could stop turning right now
And I don't think I'd mind all that much
Now that its just me and you
when I read good books I write ****** poems based off of them and that's not okay someone make me stop
