The War

​​​War
Battle
A fight I cannot win
This war that rages on inside of me
Leaving death and destruction in its path
A bloody battleground with death filled air
While casualties of heart lay wounded
Cries of pain, calls for help echoing in the distance
Please for mercy screaming into the night
Battle cries of stronger soldiers left whispering in the wind
Ghosts of lost love searching for the broken hearts
The sound of the violent silence bellowing in the night sky
The resounding claps of the weapons shattering blood and bone
Be mindful of your every move for the landmines better known as deception are riddled throughout every step you take
Through tear filled eyes you search for safety for shelter from the fight
For a place to close your eyes and dream of a war settled and won
For a home and a battled past with strength risen from the ashes
This is what I wish for as I long to rest my heart from this war that betrays my soul
This battle of how to survive the loss of you
The destruction left behind by the missing of you from me
If you are gone...
It is a battle to breathe
It is a fight to survive
It is a war to let you go
