WAR, LOVE, AND TOMORROW

If there’s a song that reset time
I want you to sing it for eternity
Peter, listen to me, you hold nothing dear
With a heart so pure and true
It will one day question you
It wanted more than you ever gave
I don’t know how I became so lost
Lost into an endless darkness
I feel the void where death is a must
I hereby embrace the foraging emptiness
Peter, did you know you can’t live without travails
Without a density of doubt clouding your head
Do you know your demons will not agree with you?
Every time you try to make yourself dead
Peter, please don’t love this war
Just because you lost her this fall
You will find many with a broken heart who crawl
Through the tunnel of regret ‘coz of the wrong call
Peter, remember when you said they would
Take a bullet for her, to prove their love
You told me love is not science
It doesn’t need proof, it doesn’t need me either
Please Peter, not me, certainly not me
I have on my own, no conscience
The only love I have is for war
To that alone, I have a lot to prove.
Take this letter, give it to my father
Peter, I know I won’t make it out of here
It’s written in blue and red
I ran out of ink I used my blood instead
Peter, deliver my letter
And go find your lover
Although She will not wait for you
She probably heard the news
That those who will be coming home are few
Before the end of this all
Someone will break her heart for you
But why, you ask me why?
I have nothing else to live for
Except for this war that brought me joy
Don’t worry about me anymore
I have loved before I met with May McCoy
I pray the next bullet finds my heart
Let it rip my sorrows apart
Tissue, ribs, blood, and bones
If you stop my heart from bleeding
You gave life to my demons
Let me find death in this bloody horizon
Hold my hand, Peter my boy, hold it firm
*sigh* *tears* *chuckle* *blood spluttered*
There are no butterflies on the battleground
Pete, what I wouldn’t give to see one around
*eyes closed* *last breath* *sunset*
I knew I will love the darkness of afterlife.
