Operation Death

I saw a time before this

Sometime before we left

With a warm fuzzy feeling inside all of them

I saw an aggregation coming together as time just froze for us

A paradise island for just us

 

I am a small girl’s friend 

Some may say that I was a spoiled brat

Food,materials that enclose my body like a blanket at night

Light and time to do whatever I imagined

Sitting on the throne of the world

 

The gods ruined my perfect world of never ending bliss

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

We were told they were fireworks 

Completely safe, but I didn't quite believe that

Discarded, jilted, and dissipated by the Gods

 

Institutionalize in a neversack

The chilling breeze was cold enough to the touch 

It felt as if you were encased in ice

Seeing snow rrreeddd from the boot prints by soldiers plantigrading on 

Then I became hermatic in my crusade for hibernation

 

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

I saw an explosion and blo-o-o-d

I was petrified and I started to burst into tears

I bide in a corner of the holder

Waiting Waiting Waiting for my savior 

 

Then everything is in a state of ataractic

Then time stopped 

I sense a calmness inside of me

Then a curtain of darkness came over

I can’t remember what happened after that

 

I awoke after the battle 

I was reborn from the holder to the world

I felt a breeze that chilled me to the bone

I see the father looking at and holding me

His eyes had regret and a fleeing look of distress

 

I saw the blackest ink of 

snow closing in around me

Like the fall of day into night

He was sitting on chimney of sorts

And the holder casted off to the side, 

discarded forever

 

Everywhere I looked I saw death the breeze said

To stay or leave and risk death

I want to go home to them

But I must stay here to defend the 

Pride of the country

This will be over soon I promise

 

That night, I heard a siren wailing

I came out of my hiding spot

It was the father

It was a nightmare 

 

They said it was battle fatigue

 

I don’t understand 

I want to go home

To you
