The Killing Man

You don't care,

As you slay and destroy.

Killing everything in front of you.

I stand in front of you as you watch me.

Waiting between worlds.

I cry as the soldier tells me.

That my love had died over seas.

Lord please be a nightmare.

I whisper to myself as I look at the coffin.

The world spins as I sit in a chair, waiting.

Listening to everyone cry and talk softly,

Pressing down on me.

I run to the ocean and fall to my knees,

Screaming as I clasp my hands over my ears,

Trying to get the thoughts out of my head.

Hold on,

I cry as I think of him dead,

Leaving me alone with his unborn child.

I can't think, can't breathe as I try to hold on.

My grip slipping as I try to breathe.

Slowly calming my heart down,

I smile as I think of me becoming a mother soon.

And the pain seems to fade away,

But I won't back down to you as I stand up again.

Regaining my life again,

As I push the killing man away from me.

And start to become stronger again.
