Moonlight Melody

She had thought she was infallible,
Invincible
Having won battles with ease
Her victory assured.

Then the meteor strikes,
And the sky falls
Taking the world with it
She had been too late
Her efforts had been for naught
And everyone was dead.

She had failed,
For the first time
Her sorrow and despair were palpable
For an entire race was gone
And only then, had she realized,
Maybe she wasn't so infallible after all.
