A moment more
Was it only yesterday that you looked at me with that special light in your eyes?
Was it only yesterday that we flew above the world and your bright smile laughed at the shadows that creep ever nearer?
Was it only yesterday that your silent pleading with the darkness keep it at bay for one more day?

The Dawn
I would be ignorant as the dawn
That has looked down
On that old queen measuring a town
With the pin of a brooch,
Or on the withered men that saw
From their pedantic Babylon
The careless planets in their courses,
The stars fade out where the moon comes.
And took their tablets and did sums;
I would be ignorant as the dawn
That merely stood, rocking the glittering coach
Above the cloudy shoulders of the horses;
I would be - for no knowledge is worth a straw -
Ignorant and wanton as the dawn.
-Yeats
A moment. That was all it took for my life to change for the worse. Just a second, slipping either way and it just had to slip into darkness. How could I let this happen? I am the 'Dark Knight', the Caped Crusader, The Batman.
I let Dick get shot.
How can I let children fight in my war? How could I ever think that anything I do will protect them from the horrors of the night? It must stop here and now. I will not continue to let him do this any longer.

I can't believe he just fired me. I make one little mistake and he goes ballistic on me! Like he hasn't been stopping bullets like a target for years. My first time and he fires me. Well I am not going to take this crap any longer. He can just go be a control freak in his own little world without me from now on. I am through with all of his "I am the Bat and thou shalt have no other life before me" attitude.
Well he can just take Gotham and shove it!

Note I:
Well, this was just something a friend had me do in 5 minutes or less, I know I should be working on my other story "I am the Bat", but I needed a break for a bit. Good news, I have almost finished up the last touches on chapter nine. Bad News, my ex-boyfriend decided that, after I did the unthinkable and asked him to do the Christmas thing with my family and he got all huffy and said no and I practically begged him too, we can be just friends. So I may never get that cool voice typing program now... *sigh*
Note II:
I may take this further if anyone likes it! Let me know, if you have nothing better to do! Oh and the poem at top? That was my inspiration point for the little views, I had to read that and make something up about it (or something, I never really understood that part) in any genre I chose. Eh, the things we do to fight boredom...
