One Last Shot

The stakes are raised
The ending is here
The battle for fate...

With teeth bared,
Arms stretched out wide
Here I stand
Ready to fight...

As you take in your last breath 
Arms slowly rising,
Chest heaving
Eyes slowly open, screams ring...

Your rage is seen
A black mist that encompasses all...
You always had that trait,
Elusiveness
And now it is used against me

Only now I feel this is real 
All that I fight for
This love, tainted but still...

Shattered on the floor
The prize to be claimed.
One victorious, 
One will win this hope

As you run towards me
Possessed by your hate,
Your anger driving your fists
My only chance...

A silver arrow,
Drawn swift and sure
Aimed at your heart,
I await my chance

The final seconds arrive
My breathing steadies...

With a last look
Your innocence shines,
Inside your eyes it lies...

My arrow flees
Takes a new home
Deep within your chest
Your innocence was a lie..
