a single shot whistled by
a single soldier falls and dies
a single silence shatters in
as he falls bone from skin
...
You smile at me
with your tired eyes
you hold me close
your words are wise
...
I look at you, a shell
a desolate memory of what you once were
the holes in your skin
fuel your demise
...
The heat strikes my face
scornful, violent
the flame roars, screams
falls silent
...
Consume, Conform, obey.
Don't speak.
Don't argue
Don't stray
...
i slip in and out of this state
confused, shaking in my own concious
moving from hot to cold
weak to strong
...
the lover lies he bites his tongue
blood flows to show his wrong
feeling the flood overpower
controlling, sour
...
