Subject: Nottie's Lament to Irons

Okay y'all, While I haven't written any poetry in a VERY long time (in some cases, longer than some of you have been alive), last night I was, shall we say, inspired. I hope you like it.

Nottie�s Lament

I looked to you to lead;
*You didn�t understand me.*
I answered all your questions;
*Why can�t you understand me?*
I did all you said to do;
*You couldn�t understand me.*
But there was even more at stake;
*Damn it, just understand me!*

Why can�t you understand
My joy of the kill;
The racing of a pulse
As it�s heart beats it�s last;
Can�t you feel their fear
As their last breath is taken;
Like the flutter of a moth�s wing
As it dies in your hand.

II looked to you to lead;
*You didn�t understand me.*
I answered all your questions;
*Why can�t you understand me?*
I did all you said to do;
*You couldn�t understand me.*
But there was even more at stake;
*Damn it, just understand me!*

You said you knew power
How it sways the mind of man
Yet a woman with a sword
Left you as weak as a child;
I fought for your honor
To free you from her grip;
But you had already cast me aside
I died at her hands�alone.

I looked to you to lead;
*You didn�t understand me.*
I answered all your questions;
*Why can�t you understand me?*
I did all you said to do;
*You couldn�t understand me.*
But there was even more at stake;
*Damn it, just understand me!*
