The war Song

Location

I saw you
amongst the
chaotic pain and
blind hatred
that seeped into
the earth.
The earth we
came from.
I saw you
with that sword
in a loosening grip.
A grip that didn't
know why it was
killing anymore.
I saw you
as you fell on
your knees in surrender.
In surrender to a
cause no one knew
but was told it was
worth dying for.
I saw you...
and you saw me.
You saw me,
and through you,
I saw myself
and the world
I was living in...
The world
I was dying in...
