Bam**
A gun shot a mere echo in the nearly silent field
In the small second it takes to breath war erupted,
Death in his robe made up of the afterlife taking the souls along
Crack
The earth split open and the guns were silenced
If only for a minute
Before the fingers were being ****** with angry spitting face,
Accusations being flung like bombs
Then the ground began to shake
And from the crack in the Earth a tree grew
Between them
It took every bullet every stab every word
And with each one a flower grew around the tree
To end a war fight with peace

I rember how the salty breeze felt on my face
As I walked upon the heated sand
I remember now why I miss that place
As I can still feel the water on my hand
I remember the gentle gulls diving from above me
And the sun kissing my skin
I remember the tall twisting trees
That hovered above where the lake would begin
I remember the peace I felt there
And I how I miss it so
I remember the wind in my hair
As I packed my things to go
I remember the sun fade behind the water
As it takes its last peak
I remember the shimmer on the waves
As slowly out the moon sneaks
I remember the fireworks blasting it all
As I lay in the sand
I remember the colors, red, blue, green
As I held this memory in my hand

Cold water wades
Frail memories fade
Soft winds sway
Why won't the pain go away?

Tears fresh and warm
My heart so forlorn
This empty in my soul
Why can't I just be whole?

Lips chapped and dry
Worn by how I cry
These feelings won't subside
Why did some part if me die?

Sleep I wish would last
A trance to forget the past
God can you save me
Why am I haunted by these memories?

Looming above the dirt bed where she slept
A silent raven with wings fluttering
The raven before her graveyard home wept
For the woman was always sputtering
Talked of her husband, never laid to rest
Said only a fool would not say goodbye
She always clutched the necklace on her chest
She would weep in her bed asking god why
So sad she had died with a broken heart
He vowed he would always stay by her side
He vowed they could'nt ever be apart
Even though her fragile body had died
So there before her, her husband would stay
Before the dirt bed where his cold wife lay

These chains across a battered soul
The fear that never becomes whole
The page I seem to always skip
The path I seem to always slip
The cry that always seems to bare
The pain that always resides there
The broken that no one understands
The survivors that dropped each others hands
The song that never meets its end
The perfect life that's always pretend
The love that doesn't exist
The ones you always seem to miss
The memories that seem so faded
The wounded hearts so filthy and jaded
The need to just be numb
The constant reminder that you're dumb
The words that cut deeper than knives
I bless your heart if you survive

The thrill, the ride, the joy of the scare
The flash, the tide
The heat of being there

The love in which you never did fall
The smiles, the laughs,
The act too fool us all

The silence, the awkward between the two
The wave, the goodbye
As bordem does as its supposed to

The anger the clash, the need to always fight
The hate, the fear
The straying from the light

The names, the fingers pointed across the hall
The blood, the stain
As you watch the world fall down
