The Duel Poem by Jacob Courtney

We stand there facing one another taking deep breaths as we look into each others eyes. I see hatred in yours and you see sorrow in mine. We turn from each other and begin to walk away. With each step the past between us races before my eyes. I remember all those days that we looked out for each other. All those times when we made it out of bad situations for we could depend on each other. Those were the days my friend, but now we walk from each other for the last time on this day. As I near the stopping point I think how things could have been different. I betrayed you my friend and for that I shall never have peace. I regret what happened, but there is no changing the past. Now we must settle this in such a depressing way. It is a shame that our friendship is ending this way. We both know how this is going to end. We both know who will walk away from here. Now we face each other looking in one anothers eyes with sadness in them. We both say farwell and draw........Farwell indeed my friend.
