Fool's Game

The cold moon bleeds its light

Down upon a recent fight

Both combatants lie there dead

The scene around is painted red

If both have died, then who has won

The one with the knife? The one with the gun?

Fighting for something none can keep,

The heart of a woman who now will weep.

For she loved them both the same,

yet let them play this foolish game.

Neither has survived the strife

So now she too takes her life...

Devin Harter's picture

A tortured soul,
A lover's fight,
not worth the enery,
It ends in strife.
Another dead,
damned to eternity,
another misled,
as all will soon be...
