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
