Lonely War
The hand steadies
Screaming in the mind
Eyes burn in holes that chill
A sight that tries to break a life
Heart pumps the blood around veins of life that must live
Memory explodes in anger
Shaking, trembling fear hits, damn it hits.
The hand steadies
Evil in a soul
Rises to the surface
Got to push it down below
Find silence
Sink into darkness
Face the fear and fight once more
The smiling face of the body hides a broken soul fighting its own lonely war.
