Tribute to Rue

Written originally by runningwithhorses and revised by ilovepercyjackson

Through the trees

A good friend ran

For a little girl

Helping with a plan

On a net

Little Rue lay

While Katniss sang

Her last moments away

When the last breath whispered

From between her lips

And only when the lullaby ended with her last breath

Did Katniss lose Rue' grip

Flowers bloomed

A short distance away

They were gathered up

To be placed on the girl, a bouquet

Wreaths around her head

Looking so angelic

Flowers to cover her awful wounds

She will forever be our relic

Then our hero, Katniss

Walked away

The birds stopped calling,

And they took little Rue away

There are others, still

Who will meet unhappy ends

Before the Capitol is satisfied

With deaths of all our friends

But for now,

The Hunger Games live on

To kill for so-called 'justice'

Which is pointless and wrong
