Fighting a Losing Battle

They are invading,

Like a crystalline army.

Falling, Falling, Falling.

By the thousands

By the millions.

They take over my land.

MY LAND!

I assess the damage

I clear them away

But still they keep falling.

I try to gain on them

I use 3 different weapons.

I save my steed from them

Under cover, they cannot reach her.

But still they fall.

I take a break

I survey the damage

I will return and fight again.

An hour passes

And then two

I put my armor on.

With re-enforcements

Two and five

Surely I will win

We battle on,

The fight is tough

Two decides it's time to give up

Five and I fight on and on

Til at last she is gone

I fight alone

They are attacking me all over now

My armor feels so useless

In fact I feel it's dragging me down

So I remove it

Back on the field
The enemy surrounds me
It does not hurt
But instead feels like
Small kisses all over

I fight on…
Until …
I cannot go any further

Surrender is my only option,
Until later.
