It was raining hard
All I had was a coat
The world was dark
I was ignored and alone
When you saw me through the mist
And saved my life
I must've missed
The love in your eyes

I remembered that day
but forgot your love
I thought of ways to repay
Searched below and above
But in the end it was fate
That ended my debt
Face to face
In a battle to death

We tried to stay strong
And have no doubts
Twenty-four of us longed
To be the last one out
Peeta and Katniss
Unlikely victors
Last on the list
Of outstanding competitors

And Gale was at home
Alone in the forest
Watching the skies
As drama developed
Peeta was hurt
I tried to be brave
We found a place in the dirt,
A dark yet safe cave

We couldn't talk freely
So I thought it was an act
When Peeta leant into me
And said in a voice badly cracked,
"I still remember that day
You don't know how much I long
To have gone out there in the rain
To have given you some more"

I didn't know if his love was true
Haymitch had said it was all a lie
But was there actually truth?
Did Peeta have something to hide?
Without thinking I pulled him in
I pressed my lips up to his
I didn't know about my own feelings
But there was something special about that kiss

And when the games came to an end
We heard in awe-struck wonder
That the rules had been changed again
We were left to kill each other
Peeta told me to kill him with the knife
I refused because I could not let him die
"I simply cannot stop your life
But TOGETHER we can say goodbye"

Five of the berries I placed in his hand
And five of the berries went to me
This boy who saved me was now with me at the end
I barely managed to say, "one, two, three,"
We were stopped at the very last second
A voice rang into our ears
"The Hunger Games has ended!"
I hugged Peeta and couldn't stop the tears

When we went back in the train
And the cameras could not be seen
I could see in his eyes the pain
When I told him that my love for him had never been

It was raining hard
All I had was a coat
The world was dark
I was ignored and alone
When you saw me through the mist
And saved my life
Now I remember
The love in your eyes
This is a poem I wrote that is based on the first book in the Hunger Games series. I hope you enjoy it! Please comment and tell me what you think!
