War and Love

I ran through the fields;

Tried escaping the wrath.

My fear had no bounds,

As I treaded this warpath.

Blood flowing everywhere;

Boiling under the sun,

Cries of help in the air

But nowhere to run.

The smells choking me

To the insides of my lungs,

I see my hands bloody;

Feel the dryness of my tongue.

Running to the alley,

Where you said we would meet;

I pray to stop this cruelty,

On these city streets.

A war without victory

A war without virtues

No matter what happens

Mankind will lose.

I finally see your silhouette

As I reached the lowland

You waved out to me

Held out your outstretched hand

I ambled on toward you

But never did I suspect

That this would end in adieu

My ending so imperfect.

The explosion hit;

And I fell to the ground;

Saw your face frozen in shock,

Fading with the background

Before the lights go out

I whisper in your ear

"You are my everything,

I hold you so dear".

And looking at your face 

For the very last time

I memorize every detail 

And every fine line

I hold on to your hand

Till everything's gone.

No matter what happens,

Life must go on.
