Dagger
By Heartilly

Cold...
Mist and darkness surrounded me
I caught a glimpse of a shadow
Could it be enemy?
I stumbled and fell
'Help me!'
I pleaded to my surrounding
Though I knew
It would be no help

The shadow drew nearer,
I moved back
And drew a dagger
From my robe
I threaten and shrieked
Thus...it was no use...
The shadow is still advancing
Rescue me, someone...

Aghast,
I blinked my eyes while
My hands managed to
Point the dagger
At the shadow...

Still grasping the dagger,
I gazed once more at the shadow
Everything had became blurry...
My psyche is now weakening
My heart is pounding
Against my chest...
I could not see anymore...
Everything is dark
My eyes would not open...
I had lost my consciousness...

Even then,
My heart is still pounding
I could sense someone near me...
'Help!'
I could feel my soul shrieking,
Wanting to escape death,
Wanting to flee right now
From this horrifying status
But...
My eyes remained closed
I'm scared

Then
I could hear a soft boyish voice
Ringing in my ear,
Calling my name
Sensing I was unable to wake up,
It elevated me from the cold ground
Onto its warm arms
I feel safe now
And maybe, just maybe
I could remain upon its arms forever...
