What Once Was...

Dawn Approaches

Dawn Approaches

18 Months had passed,

She made sure,

To take precautions,

Prepare and get ready,

For war,

We had been monitoring,

The skies,

and we got notification,

That they were almost here,

We calculated their path,

And estimated their arrival,

We wouldn't be disappointed,

The night before they arrived,

We were in the dining room,

Of the placed that I learned to call,

Home,

She was sitting,

Watching the video,

We had seen,

A thousand times before,

I walked in,

And took a seat,

"You know tomorrow,

Will get very crazy,

She said,

"I expected as much,"

"You know,

There's a good chance,

That we don't both,

Make it back,"

I stared,

Not wanting to believe that this,

Was true,

I couldn't imagine losing her,

Again,

"But we're going to make sure,

That doesn't happen, "

She finished,

Without a word,

I glanced over at the clock,

Dawn was quickly approaching,

And I was ready,

For what was to come,

I was going to do whatever it took,

To save my parents,

This world,

Myself,

And above all else,

Save her,
