Faceless

Faceless

The dying boy withdraws his hand
To reach for a last support
My final chance to hang strong
As Death's shade billows free
Whispering you haven't long.

A crying girl whispers no
Her body shakes so fluently
Those diamond tears are part of me
Is this what I'll leave behind
Is this how it's meant to be?

The final soldier grits his teeth
Stubbornly he just wont die
Shouldering an m-sixteen
The stray thought cuts you deep-
Please, don't cry over me.
