Too Late

Summary:

Prompt: Poetry

Idea: While searching an abandoned bunker on a war-torn planet, Allura stumbles across some poetry in an unknown person's diary and the contents makes her realize how much they had hope for salvation.

Notes:

Some friends and I did some writing prompts together, in which we had about ten minutes to write something matching or incorporating the prompt. This was the sixth prompt we did.

Chapter 1: The Poem

Chapter Text

The universe is full of darkness, my dear,
And I trust you to bring me through it.
But you won’t always be there I fear,
Nor can I always pull you out of the pit.

The battle cruisers sore overhead,
And even in silence I hear their sound.
The surface is stained deep deep red.
Agony and fear thrive underground.

Don’t let your hope die, my dear,
For there will someday come a tide
When the loudest sound we shall hear
Is the great roar of the five lions’ pride!
