Murder

From the bright, blooming flowers

To the shimmering dark sea,

The sunlight flashing in my eyes

Is all I can see. 

The breeze brushes passed me,

There is no holding back.

The cliff ending high,

The water rages below,

Hitting the rocks

With a powerful blow.

My knees quiver in fear

As I look over my shoulder.

The one I hold dear,

My one other soldier.

The battles we fought,

The war we lost,

Mean nothing to them
So I must pay the cost.
A spear digs into my hip, 

Inching me forward, 

Until I finally fall

To my death on the boulders.
