We will be safe soon,
Just a few more steps
My heart can't beat much longer,
But it echos in my head.
Legs please don't fail me now.
Run faster, harder.
He who shall not be named is gaining..
Am I sure escape is what I want?
Just a few more steps,
Dumbledore is near.
I can feel it in my heart,
But part begins to slow.
To give in to this death,
To admit defeat would last forever.
Never having to be afraid again,
Nor letting the ones I love die.
I can feel his breath on my neck,
Like a winter breeze, sharp and cool
The mangled white face of fury
Flashes through my thoughts as I run.
My heart pounds faster, louder,
As pure fear takes over,
And pictures begin to come to me,
of what to come when I die.
I can't send the world into that,
I might just be their only chance.
Just a few more steps
That's all it will take
Ashes to ashes,
My mind can't take this anymore,
I colapse into the open sunlight,
Dumbledore fighting away my only chance at peace.

Ironic. Someone else has a poem inmy contest with the same name. That's weird. By the way, you made finalists. -
Yay!
Finally, an entry from this option! I am so happy and I love this poem.
