War

when tables are empty

when whispers die out

when love's legs give out, with no remnants of lust

 

when fathers become ashes

when brothers become ghosts

when mothers are left to sweep up the dust

 

when families mourn

when friends reminisce

when children ask innocently what's going on

 

when cries are kept muffled

when hearts ache and stretch

for the loved one who's all of a sudden just gone
