Fights

I surveyed the scene with pride
We gotta win that fight tonight
It was important to me

He was okay
He had never been a coward
That was all he ever wanted

Suddenly I realized something
I was scared
Sweat ran down my face and back, and I was trembling

He was nervous
He started out bad and got worse
His face contracted with agony

I couldn't make a sound
I was trembling, and it wasn't all from cold
I'm dying

A panic was rising in me
This can't be happening
I'm scared

He'd think I was soft
It would kill him
I didn't mind dying now

You still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want
There's still lots of good in the world
Then we all froze

It was scary quiet
We're too late
He's dead already

Already it was an unreal dream
You don't get used to the idea he's died just one night
I killed him
