in the war
between dark and light
i am lost
in no man's land
my skin aches
i am collateral damage
just leave my body
resting in the mud
rain will soothe these wounds
as i allow memories
to pass across my eyelids
every man for himself
so i won't fault you
for leaving me behind
i am crippled
broken and ******
but i do not fear
i know that i will be
at peace
when i finally close my eyes
