Like Toy Soldiers

By: Ceriadara


Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
Bit by bit torn apart We never win
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers


He felt it somewhere inside him. He had lost the battle against Kinomaya - the first loss of many, though how was he to know that? - and somehow he wasn't in a rage. There was always the next time, wasn't there? Life was nothing but chances.

You wanted to know something, you asked a question. You wanted to tell someone something, you give an answer. Life is a game of questions and answers and no one knew them all. Chances were everywhere, millions of possibilities with every little choice. One decision effects thousands. How can mankind live on?

How could he not be lost?

He knew who he was. Maybe there would be a day when he wouldn't be afraid anymore. Just a step at a time, one foot before the other. They understood, they had gone through it - they had lost. They had fallen as he had and they would help him up as he had. Though his flesh was torn and his mind still hazy, some things were clear. He had always won until now, and it was hard to fall, the ground painful and cold...

But there was always tomorrow.
