I sit listening to the sounds of the world
The toys crashing together mindlessly
The bubble of boiling water in the kitchen
The giggles of a young boy
The tv plays and I still sit
You are far but not gone
I cannot breathe this air in without feeling halved
Your laugh
The clicking of your controller
Sounds I had begun to know as home
Have vanished in a second
Postponed for the U.S of A
For honor they say
Victory they cry
Do they remember us holding our soldiers up from behind?
They tell us we're strong, we got this!
What do we have?
Silence?
Your cologne in a drawer?
Gear thrown across the house?
An empty side of the bed...
He is still alive
He is still alive
He is still alive
Speak it out loud. Make it part of your survival
You can do this.
But
For
Just
How

Long
