A/N: I wrote this for my English class. Wanted to share it because I based it off Shen and Akali, though my teacher nor my friends know that :P enjoy, and please review!
Balance was everything,
a goal for which a man
sacrificed himself,
His emotions,
His love,
His humanity?
Had he given up
Even that?
Soft padding of boots,
Almost inaudible,
Touch of soft skin,
Warmth spreading
through his shoulders,
through his neck,
Scent of magnolia,
Tainted with something
more sinister
Heart pounding,
Once, twice,
Sheen of sweat
Quickly appearing
On his brow,
On his palms,
Throat tightening,
No air passing through
He tried,
He tried to reason,
To explain,
But this feeling,
So alien in his brain,
Nothing came through
An impenetrable fog,
Nothing ever did
With her so close
No distractions,
Only balance,
No love,
Only balance,
His job, His goal,
His everything, damnit!
Balance was everything,
a goal for which a man
sacrificed himself,
His emotions,
His love,
His humanity?
But for her,
He would give up
even balance
to take it all back
