Star-Crossed

by CelticGames4

A little poem from Wiress's POV about her demise in Catching Fire.

Star-Crossed Love

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

This Arena is a clock.

I try to tell them, but I'm too in shock,

I cannot say words, I can only mock,

This clock.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock,

I can only hold on to my rock.

The one man who stays with me, on this cursed dock.

The one who I protected from that arrogant jock,

Beetee, my rock.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock,

12's nailed it on the dot!

She knows it, she knows! Now, I can stop!

I can see straight again, and tie my own knot!

Katniss, on the dot.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock,

Tick Tock, before long,

I am left to sing my song.

Then I see him,

I plead without words,

"I'll take the shot,

The drop,

But please, please protect him,

My rock."

Tick Tock,

Heart stops,

Body out and left to rot,

And I never got to see the shock,

And gave them the victory, just like in our talk,

The victory to my dear Beetee,

My rock.
