Metal shards,
Irreparable wounds,
The end is nearing --
Our time is coming soon.

Lights streak past me,
Sound fades to silence,
Rage boils away my blood
On the final push towards destiny.

This pain, soon will end.
One of us will never see tomorrow.
Who it is no longer matters,
As long as I never know another day of sorrow.

The battle consumes all.
You\'ve taken my innocence,
Left me a victim of circumstance,
And now I hear vengeance call.

Like an artist\'s brush,
Steel paints the sky red.
My war is over.
Now the worms are fed.

By: April E. Jones (Silver Kitsune)
The time is now to take back what was stolen from you. One battle in this war is your own, and you'll never rest until the final blow has been dealt. Death is the only remedy for your pain, whether it be your own demise or that of the one who took away all you held dear, and your humanity along with it.

Darker than most of my other poems, this was inspired by a picture I recently saw. I wanted to try something new, and this is the result.
