Aftermath

The war had ended
And the bugles had blown
The soldiers had left
And the land was empty
There stood the solitary soul
Searching for the shambled pieces
The cries were piercing
Unheard and unloud
The hunger was blinding
The smoke had covered
The blue skies gray
And the moment passes by
Leaving behind the shadows of eternal truth
There were the whimpers and the whispers
Of my crushed up hopes and dreams
The path taken and the promises made
Betraying the life that I had once lived
And now when the soldier marches by
And the solitary soul gazes on
There was a just a lost glimpse
That was given in the stolen moment in between
Smiling that inane smile
And asking those million questions
Don't you think I know you
Don't you think I understood the pain
Don't you think I see the world
Through your lonely eyes
That has known the love lost.
Unable to move, unable to speak
Nothing to hold on, nothing to lose
Solitary the soul is
Sorrowfully it gazes on.
