A Blade


A blade, shining in the sun, reflecting A thirst, hunger and power of what was Upon the face, a cut, a scar, sight marred Half a world of dark, half a world of light A weakness, a strength, a curse, a cure, hers Different eyes see different reason Life or death, last choice, last chance, the sword raised Break down walls; build them higher, attack, strike! A blade, shining in the sun, bleeding out Blood to never bleed, heart to never break Pouring blood, shatter the heart, break it all Destroy that which makes yourself, destroy you Slice and tear, tears too far fallen too long Make it count, this chance, this choice, the last one Decisions to make, make it so, be true Follow heart, mind, and soul, unite in one A blade hiding in the night, lasting time Forget the rules, bend to one whim, change it Forget what was, could be, should be, would be Change destiny, erase the stone’s final marks No finality, no end, now, never Don’t look back, don’t turn away, shadows call The night is taking over, forget the light Enter now the world of one, of darkness Watch it fade, watch it go, never return A blade, fading in the night, forever stained
