A War Poem
September 23, 2014
There is nothing worse than losing a friend,
Then standing there and watching his life end.
Unable to stop and properly grieve,
Lest you wish to earn an eternal reproeve.
They told you, you were being brave,
But they sent you to an unholy grave.
It is cruel to think that the prettiest girl in all the land,
Will never know the touch of her father's hand.
I wonder if you thought about me as much as I think about you,
Because when you died a part of me died too.
