I Dare Not Lose This Fight!
By Kyer


Not my characters as much as I wish they were. Belong to Sony Tristar.

This is the sequal to: I Hide My Shaking Hands.
Somehow, it didn't seem fair not to show LaCroix's side of the relationship.
I'm not as kindly disposed toward him as Nick, but neither do I hate him.
...hope I did him justice.

(Besides...he threatened me. <g>)

To the music of 'Like a Prayer' by Madonna.


My childe is all to me, a treasure to be kept,
Gaining mortality,
I will not..
accept.

When I'm all alone, I lose my fierce disdain
I wrench back my fears; I will not cave to pain.
In the moonlit hours, when I feel my power
I seek out my knight---I dare not lose this fight!

I sense his fears, his mind is always churning.
I sense his fears, I taste his tears..
Never ending.
I raise my voice, Oh gods is Death yet winning?
My knight must live, I raise my voice.
Will he hear me?

When I'm all alone, I lose my fierce disdain
I wrench back my fears; I will not cave to pain.
In the moonlit hours, when I feel my power
I seek out my knight---I dare not lose this fight!

"You're all to me." I tell him oft repeating,
"Why won't you see, you're all to me--
Beloved Chosen.
A timeless road, history is our plaything.
We are as one---you are my son..
Everlasting!

When I'm all alone, I lose my fierce disdain
I wrench back my fears; I will not cave to pain.
In the moonlit hours, when I feel my power
I seek out my knight---I dare not lose this fight!

I long to hear, his words of fealty to me.
I long to hear, and yet I fear
His lashing at me.
He does not know--I long to hold him dearly!
He does not know he does not show.
Oh, how like me!

When I'm all alone, I lose my fierce disdain
I wrench back my fears; I will not cave to pain.
In the moonlit hours, when I feel my power
I seek out my knight---I dare not lose this fight!

My childe is all to me, a treasure to be kept,
Gaining mortality,
I will not..
accept.

Crying out his pain, he mourns of soul sin-stained,
When will he cleave to me--when can I make him see?
Oh, but I can't fail! I'll burn his mortal veil!
Then he will be the son he was brought forth to be!

Return to the Light? Dear gods, I dare not lose this fight!
I dare not lose this fight!
