Last Light

Last Light

A Poem by Demyra
"

Together forever...

"

Infatuated obsessions, I long for the smile,

I long for the light in your eyes I cannot find within mine.

Meaningless possessions, I won't bother with denial,

you're the only reason left to bother with life's fine.

I fear more and more, as your light seems to fade away,

Suffocating under the inescapable enemy,

It seems you lose more of your inner fire every day,

every moment without you brings closer the end of me.

 

You are my last light, and this may be our last fight,

but at least we'll do this together.

I understand your plight, and I support it with all my might,

and I'll stand behind you forever.

Don't let the light in your eyes disappear,

I'll take for myself all your dark, I'll chase away all your fear.

This is your battle, but I refuse to let you fall,

I can't deal the final blows, but I'll see to it that you stand tall.

Our stories are now tied to each other,

and the script we follow will be decided by no other.

 

Undeniable devotion, I'll take every slug that comes our way,

still, we can't bother surrender to the pain of an injury.

I've taken more bullets than I thought I could take today,

but so long as they don't touch you, I find they don't injure me.

 

You are my last light, and this may be our last fight,

but at least we'll do this together.

I understand your plight, and I support it with all my might,

and I'll stand behind you forever.

Don't let the light in your eyes disappear,

I'll take for myself all your dark, I'll chase away all your fear.

 

The battle has ended for the day,

rest for me, and I'll plan for tomorrow.

The only thing left right now to say,

is let your fire burn, don't drown in this sorrow.

We've lost so much, and we're only to lose so much more,

I must admit, I can't completely say how much longer we're fighting for,

but I will NOT run out of ammunition,

and I will not give in.

I know this isn't just another mission,

I know it's for the yearning within.

 

You are my last light, and this may be our last fight,

but at least we'll do this together.

I understand your plight, and I support it with all my might,

and I'll stand behind you forever.

Don't let the light in your eyes disappear,

I'll take for myself all your dark, I'll chase away all your fear.

This is your battle, but I refuse to let you fall,

I can't deal the final blows, but I'll see to it that you stand tall.

Our stories are now tied to each other,

and the script we follow will be decided by no other.

 

I'll take every slug, please just don't lose this light in your eyes,

because even though the damned enemy doesn't understand what it's worth,

It symbolizes the same things that have stopped our muffled cries,

and it symbolizes the only reasons we've existed since our birth.

Our stories are now tied to each other,

and the script we follow will be decided by no other.
