RUE'S LAST SONG

Katniss, Katniss what would you do

If it wasn't for your ally Rue

The one that hopped from tree to tree

Was small and fast and free

When you were stung by tracker jackers

She gave you the leaves

That seeped the pain from your body

She taught you her song

That delicate tune A string of four notes

To try to warn you.

When she fell in the net

Then got speared in the chest

You sang her a song

And then laid her to rest

Without your small ally

You would already be gone

But now since you are the Mockingjay

You can share Rue's Last Song.

FLY AWAY

I see the trees fading;

I am losing consiousness.

Katniss' voice stays with me.

Deep in the Meadow...

It's so dark now.

So much work to open my eyes.

I know I will be leaving soon.

Under the Willow...

The Mockingjays have stopped

To hear Katniss sing.

I can't wait to leave this place.

A bed of Grass...

I will soon fly with the Mockingjays.

Soar above the sky,

Looking down on those below.

A soft green Pillow...

I look up at Katniss,

Give one last shuddery breath.

I squeeze her hand.

Lay down your Head...

I hold onto this moment

for as long as possible.

Now I must let go.

And close your sleepy Eyes...

I close my eyes.

Let that breath out.

Then slide into darkness.

And when again they Open...

Her song stays with me

in the darkness.

It stays with me in this darkness.

The sun will Rise.

And she sings the last part.

... Here is the Place where I love you.
