I have another story, Dark Blossom, and this poem describes how one of my main characters, Tigerheart, feels about his mentor's death. Please review and tell me what you think. This poem just jolts Tigerheart into perspective, it lets you see that he's not truly evil.
Tigerheart's Regrets
You believed in me, my promise showed
I tried to keep up, you never slowed
So I kept your pace, and learned to survive
Yet tragedy strikes you, only I am alive
You taught me, you trained me
You fought me, you strained me
You molded me into a stealthy fighter
But in the end, Death was mightier
Your words still ring, your promise in my ears
"I have faith in you; you will lead in your years."
But I let you fall, it is I to blame
It is the icy cold in me that drives my shame
I stood there, just feet away
While you fought to keep Death at bay
I could have saved you, I could have tried
My soul sheds tears of blood I cry
Your faith in me was what saved my life
And carried me through hardships and strife
What was once of passion, never alone
Now hunts himself with a heart of stone
I failed your trust, your passion, your truth
That you placed in me while I reached my youth
I know I could have done better, yet
This is just another regret
