9. Leobreaker
With every light a shadow,
Armed with scythe and hood
Hunting the lives of those
Who had stolen others'
"Meet Oblivion," he says.
I'm chased by an invisible face.
With each swing of his blade
I fall a little more.
With each pass it takes
I die a little more.
Running through the darkness,
The question remains:
Will I last a little more?
Fear is the chain that binds me
To an anchor of the pitch black sea
Would I tremble?
As the blade comes ever closer...
Would I cower?
No, This isn't me!
I turn to face him,
Determination in my sight.
If I shall die, it will be with a fight!
Alas, I have no say-
In what I soon shall be;
For this last pass in time
I become history.
