Knife to the Throat

by Hayyah2000

Kili falls in the armory, and feels his has that his uncle down. Free verse poem. Angst!Kili

The burden in my arms weigh me down

The fire in my leg burns me to the core

The pain creates needles in my eyes

.

.

Then I fall

.

.

My burdens fall

My body falls

And the deadly silence falls

.

.

Replaced instead by noise

Clang

.

.

The fire in my leg is an inferno

White noise fills my ears

Leaving room for the pain

.

.

The worn edge of the stairs strikes my back

The breath that leaves my lungs gives me nothing to scream with

My friends are silent, or is that the white noise

.

.

The shouts of men fad into my sensory

I don't want to see my friends

I lead the men here

.

.

I can feel their disappointment

I feel my uncles shame

I know he didn't want me to come

.

.

I hear the steps of men coming

I struggle to sit up

Only to have a meaty arm push me down

.

.

There is cold at my neck

Making my skin turn into goose-flesh

A knife

.

.

This knife threatens me

Dares me to move

See how far I can go before it spills my life

.

.

I try to relax

I see Thorin's sapphires

They burn with disappointment

.

.

I have always felt below him

Like I have always let him down

Always below him

.

.

Never an equal

I am only a burden

Never an equal

.

.

There is only one thing in this room that makes us equal

.

.

A knife to the throat
