How Swift Will You Be? Poem by Hm. Nes

How Swift Will You Be?

Rating: 5.0


How swift will you be
To run to where I have fallen,
Much deserved,
While you with others screamed
And flailed your arms,
Hoping to stop my heedless launch
Into destruction?
As well, you stood and begged me pause,
To repent and turn away from a hellbent quest-
But I was undeterred,
Determined
To destroy both soul and body
With careless, mindless, senseless choices-
But tell me,
After the deed is done,
After the race is run,
After the setting sun,
The pain, the fun,
How swift will you be
To come to where I have fallen,
To get down in the dust with me
And grieve?
