The Hero who killed
by tolerate.
on 080511


standing in glory with flowing yellow hair,
sword in the air; held with fear.
it wasn't the fear of losing a war,
it was the fear of killing someone.

raising the sword, preparing for war,
with a trembling heart soon bound to die.
ran towards the enemy with guilt-stricken eyes;
the guilt would never have walked away.

the person beyond was who's love was upon,
loved so much; the only friend.
if there was a choice, there would be no war;
for it brings only hurt and pain - nothing more.

killing off the evil,
the sword was for its master.
killing off the evil,
the hero was for its glory.

hero - a name not suitable
for both sword or master.
for the latter killed the only friend;
the killer had no rights to be
called a hero.
