Her:
She recalled the burning heat
Seeping off their foreheads
Pressed together, consoling the other
As she whimpered “Are we okay?”
Brought to knees on a battlefield
Of shattered hearts and
Desecrated morals built in hope

Him:
He memorized the details of her face
Pale stricken with beautiful streaks of dirt
Ragged and tired from the many battles
Driven off the endless battle waves of
Angels and demons in the pursuit of love
His soft breaking whisper
“Let’s just see if we can survive tonight.”

They both hoped they’d make it out alive.
