Power of the fight
My hands at my side
Breath heavy and deep
Nails digging into my skin
I know this is a bad idea
But who cares?
My hand flies up towards the other person
Hitting the side of their chin
Recoiling back to my side
Just a little swollen and pink
He swung back at me
His palm open,
Aiming at my face
Ducking, my shin hits his side,
Pushing him down
But his back leg
Snaps into place
Catching him gently
For his next swing to move swift
But again he misses,
His hand striking out at me
Missing my head my inches
My hand grabbing his elbow
As my body swings towards his,
Going towards his chest
But never releasing the grasp
On his tiny arm
My shoulder crashes into his
Hand now on the wrist,
Arm now dislocated
He was silly to try
Yet it wasn’t enough
His knee reaching up
And slamming into my side
But it doesn’t hurt yet
All the pain blocked out by the fight
My pulse racing
Breath steady and light
I grin
I can feel myself calming down
As the battle really gets going
Expecting that half moment of peace
Right before he dies
The adrenalin
Swing, miss, miss
My hand is swollen
By now well smashed
I must give up
Accepting defeat
But I won’t
I want that half moment
Swing, slam, hit, hit
Miss, miss, miss
I can think clearly
Maybe it’s time to stop playing
Time to finish this thing
Why draw it out any longer?
There will be someone here soon
Can’t let it be that extensive
My foot hits his knee,
Sending him backwards
My feet spin to the side, blocking his fall
But allowing my elbow
To reach his back
Sinking into him,
As he pulls himself up
Away from the pain
And my foot meets the back
Of his knee this time
Sending him to the ground
My pulse extremely steady
The fight almost won
My arm reaches out,
Catching his wrist
Tucked kindly behind his back
I allow myself to fall with him
But as his chest hits the ground,
I stop just to the sides
Straddling him
Feet at his knees
His arm in my control
His legs pinned down,
Unable to save himself
From the inevitable fate
So I swing around to the front
Letting go of his arm as I move
And extending my hand
As his reaches mine
I pull him up to his feet,
Shaking hands as we
Walk away from it all
The fight won, battle over
My nails dig into my skin
Keeping my from going back
To really finish this thing
But it can’t go that far ever again
