Bittersweet
Bittersweet
By Kevin Robey

I remember the voices
I recall every thought
Staining the bright lights
Taking all that I sought
The call to arms was made
Every word you said was true
The scars you took away
Never asked too much from you
The echoes fade away
With words we never said
The silence fills the air
Above lies in our bed
Laughing as we talk
Above our rotting grave
Dreams from long ago
The wages that I gave
Its bittersweet I guess
Smiling at the ghosts
The wreckage that we left
Hosts our daily toasts
Hoping that one day soon
Voices leave me and you
Find a place where we can build
A brand-new start for something true
