Mercinary Poem by nikki hays

I looked into your eyes
sad symphony of a lifetime
bittersweet memories
like twisted thorny roses in your mind

Windows to the soul
or so they say
darkened mysteries
waiting to awake

Deeper and deeper
into you i fall
wrapped in your misery
the pain of it all

feeling your heartache
the pain of your life
tasting your madness
your sorrow and strife

kissing your brow
salty moist beads
wiping away torment
dreadful deads

mercinary they call you
defender of the world
for hire a killer
your sword you now yeald

lifting me higher
then crashing me down
you know that i love you
and upon this you frown

soft silent words
as you walk now away
forget me now lover
this is my last day

when i face this foe
on the battlements there
in some foreign country
of which im in fear

i will lay cold there
this is my end
forget me now darling
say goodbye to me friend

no more letters ill send you
for no more can i write
struck down by the enemy
i shall lose this fight

i have seen it befall me
in nighmares so real
the gash in my side
bleeding i feel

crimson the droplets
my lifeforce now leaves
my spirit above me
my loved ones will greave

say goodbye to me now
as i walk out the door
my loved one my voice
you will hear no more
