WRITING OBSTACLE

In a short scene, how can your protagonist say “I won’t forget you” without literally saying the words “I won’t forget you”?

For you

When you are down and you are burning

Would you still reach out your hand,

As I would reach my charred arm out to you?


Would you drink the poisoned cup

To keep me alive?

For you I would drink a dozen.


Have you thought about what you would do

If I was broken and bleeding on the floor

I would hold your peices together in my arms

If it meant you stayed alive


Does it mean anything to you

When I say I would give my life

Just for you to breathe


If I was stuck in tragedy and did not have the will to leave

Would you stay until I could pick myself up

For you I would a million times over


Would you stay in the trenches with me

Until the overhead fire stopped

And I had the courage to stand?


When the bullets fire of words and of pain

I would take the bullets as they rain

If it meant i kept you safe
