Defeated By Fate

I was defeated in a battle fought in a place Distant from where I was raised. Defeat was certain yet hope had the piddling of existence. Had raised my canons, draped in metal. Yet the army was nowhere to be seen Cause this battle was between a man who had to win what had fallen between crack and the fate that had the knack of snatching everything from him. Still I clamored the war cry. And went hand to hand with my nemesis. I trembled when I saw his visage Visage of nightmare that you see in your dreadful dreams. Didn’t disclose his gimmick Irrupted upon me. Parried his attacks, his every move. Yet his fist struck my head and knocked me bleeding on the ground. Mind was in the battle but body was defeated and covered with wound. Gave a glance, a glance that to him it seemed victory And I would become history. Covered in gore and with defeat on the verge. Still there was a surge of blood and thoughts. But when I regained faith Found that he had departed to consume someone of my sort.
