Warriors Final Due

The moon had held a wickedness 
So unlike many of night I've seen
Embraced in an eerie listessness
While projecting an ominous scene

This night a warriors life was lost
One who unselfishly fought for all
She'd pay no matter what the cost
Her battles she picked, was her call

See it wasn't by beast's razor claw
She was too wise for them you see
Warriors hold at least one fatal flaw
One taking her life setting her free

It was much like an evil deception
One thing she was unprepared for
Like every rule held an exception
This one cut deep to her very core

The downfall of so many it seems
Struck down by the blade of a love
Laying there her blood did stream
Had to rise was all she thought of

High above that love raised his sword
With a swoop drove it deep in her heart
Her eyes stared at the one she adored
He broke her soul, that's the worst part

Her story will live on for the good done
How what a brave soul she held so true
Yet she knew for all the battles she won
Brought her even closer to her final due

A fine piece of writing Brenda, I've never seen games of thrones so can't relate but really good rhyme and flow with great imagery. Have a great day, Gordon

Paul thank you so much! Yes reincarnation has a way of strength ig a person! Lol! Yes I am so proud of her!;) but she deleted her account ...her mom found out she had one and made her delete it! I hate she has to bug she must follow her mother's choice! Hopefully she continues writing I know it was very upsetting to her! And so very proud of her work she has been giving me a run for my money to say the least! Feels good to be back I must say!;)
