The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Dying to live


Loki Wyrd

Recommended Posts

I've got nothing to live for

Nothing to lose

So what am I waiting for

No time to choose

Time shall continue

On its slanted path

The light shall renew

If only I hold fast

No reason to live

No love for me to give

Shall my memory live on

Long after I am gone

I have been lonely

I have been sad

But I am thankful

For all that I've had

I have no hate

I have no fear

Swallow my fate

My end is near

I'm going now

As I stand before you

Take my bow

I shall forever miss you

I'll leave the commenting on structure to those who know what it is, keke, but it seemed a tad off beat on reading it the first time but not the second (maybe I'm just tired).

 

On a constructive note I loved the title - nice play on words mate! The poem itself portrayed an easy to follow self-analysing/chivalrous type side for the protagonist which I must admit to being very fond of this writing style and I feel you did it justice.

 

If I seem not to make sense I'll try explain better when less sleepy :wolf:

I like this one a lot. I only have one real suggestion. I'd suggest changing the eighth line to read "If I only hold fast", purely for the sake of the flow. It means the same thing but seems to me to read a little more smoothly.

 

Just a thought. I loved the mood and idea to this one.
