The lost battle

 

 

my eyes are tired and red

    battles have ruined my life

failures have left me scars

  and defeats have forced me down

        

desires burnt my heart

 and dreams have hurt my soul

 there seem to  be no end

 no end to all my pains

 

 my throne was taken

and my kingdom ruined

I don’t know what I am fighting for

when I have lost everything

 

I don’t know why I have risen

Struggling in the midst of my wounds

I don’t know why I am not dead

when defeats have crushed my soul

 

I have dropped my sword

   and flung my armours  down

I have thrown my shield

        and ripped my boots apart

 

I am in search of death

 and my lips whisper my last prayers

before I  lose my life

for one last time

With all my heart I accept

my fall in this battle
