A single smile,
A distance of a mile,
A cascading tear,
A dreadful fear,
A dying hope,
A fear to cope,
A search for light,
A losing fight,
A beg for mercy,
No show of curtsey,
A bed of thorn,
The fear gripping on,
A feat to achieve,
Long gone the trace of mischief,
The innocence lost,
The death; a host,
A shallow breath,
One last threat,
The heart; a hollow,
In self pity we wallow,
A skipped heartbeat,
A grim smile, facing defeat,
The courage seeping,
Loved ones weeping,
A final farewell,
In grief hearts dwell.
