We see the child cry as he watches his father die.
Murdered by the state, forced to bow his head and accept his fate.

We see a mother's fearful roar as her child is sent to an unending war,
the boy who will never return. For his family's embrace he'll forever yearn.

We see lives torn apart, each person made to play their part.
Young lovers bid their tearful farewell, forced to stare into the depths of hell.

We see the innocents of war,


and do nothing.

Pondering my thoughts,
Trying to find the answer.
Endless wondering.

The phoenix spreads its wings and flies away with my heart.
Torn from my chest, chasing desires.
I dream to be under my precious phoenix's wing.
To one day love once more, to rise from the ashes.

His incandescent lips draw me in,
unable to pull myself away.
My brain says no, my heart says yes.
After waiting so long for this moment, anticipating and dreading it,
I pull away
I cant do this
One kiss would never be enough, I'd always want more.
My heart cries for this but I have to resist
I have to stop.
I can't.
Pure magnetism.
Charm
Grace
Lust.
Charlie Sep 2015
To love we must suffer.
When we suffer, we fight.
The dangerous first step into no man's land.
The first message.
Strike up the conversation like a firing pin.
Will it hit or misfire?
Charlie Aug 2015
No smell of sulphur in the air
No bullets flying past your head
No screams of agony to be heard
No injuries to be seen.

Scarred by the words
Bruised by the fists
Paralysed by the sirens
The urban battlefield still destroys lives.
