Two Swordsmen

Two swordsmen, locked in rivalry
In a time when space is open to all
What possessed these men to be as they be
On opposite sides, their loyalties felt a different call

In a time when space is open to all
Two men with swords engaged in many a battle
On opposite sides, their loyalties felt a different call
But they had respect for each other, if only a little

Two men with swords engages in many a battle
They clashed, despite sharing a common enemy
But they had respect for each other, if only a little
The only thing either could see was their rivalry

They clashed, despite sharing a common enemy
An enemy that threatened to destroy humankind
The only thing either could see was their rivalry
Their rivalry was forever on an incline

An enemy that threatened to destroy humankind
Neither would focus until the other was dead
Their rivalry was forever on an incline
But sadness was what the victor was fed

Neither would focus until the other was dead
Allies of a sort, enemies of another
But sadness was what the victor was fed
Though he wept for a force he could finally conquer

Allies of a sort, enemies of another
The victor longed to have someone to face
Though he wept for a force he could finally conquer
Of that intense rivalry, nothing would replace

I know it's not too great (I HATE my writing...) but I had to write it for English class tomorrow. Xenosaga was my only inspiration... oh, and it's a pantoum. Our requirements for this writing assignment were that it had to be at least 16 lines, and either a pantoum, villanelle, or sestina. So... yeah. I wrote it in under an hour, and contradicting what I said a few sentences ago, I do actually like it a bit.

Just thought I'd share it with you folks...
