His Battle

Her eyes darted back and forth Studying his face He was battling his demons Far from reality, displaced It was a necessity   For her to save him But in doing that Her own life was becoming dim Every combat  Both came out with wounds A piece of them each ruined Every time the darkness Washed over his soul It was as if she was lost Her eyes covered in a blindfold She was a soldier in His never-ending war But when it was time to help her He disappeared in the storm

I have seen this happen so many times, one battles to rescue another from the internal war they are fighting only to find no peace waiting when the scars become to much to the rescuer to bear. Dark and deep but so well written.

Ooh. Good write. It speaks of feeling and while nothing concrete, it speaks to my loving a hard core alcoholic. 7 for this affective write. xomo
