Finished this poem a while back, but never got around to posting it. More work went into this one than probably any others I have done. Not perfect, but I hope you enjoy it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am a fighter deep inside
I can’t believe this heart is mine
Too long I trust this dream in time
The end is come I can’t deny

T’was long ago we saw the light
Tomorrow comes another lie
Today we are the beasts who cry
In time the lie will cry to light

I hear this pride so deep inside
I will not fight the war they strive
Now love will try to beat the tide
You cannot come we will divide

Inside a hole you’ve torn so wide
Your face is all I cannot hide
When in this war I watch them die
Tonight we cry for all that’s right

Retrieve me now for now’s my time
Declare no more I cannot fight
At home she waits for dying light
Unknown tonight will end her strife

Now home I am in pain I lie
All I’ve had torn is but my life
Deep inside I know it would hide
Bring her here before I subside

Its breath I hear it’s on my ear
Inside me now is not but fear
Corrupted is its evil cheer
I will not die I disappear

I will become its engineer
Who might I be it’s so unclear
Keep you away I am sincere
It’s through her heart I’m sure I’ll spear

What is this pain I feel so strong
But now my ear hears only song
One voice alone can pierce the throng
The war inside me that is wrong

Inside my head I heard its cries
The Deep is lost I know it’s ties
A Glimpse through time has shown me why
I only wish more time to sigh

Your face no longer can I hide
To you is where my home may lie
No longer with this fear inside
I gave them all they were denied

The war they strive for ends in time
No longer will my brothers die
Within the shadow dying light
All come home they will live tonight

A Glimpse through time with transient light
Long through my veins it burns so bright
Now come with me we will take flight
Great worlds of power give us sight
