Requiem For A Casualty

One rainy day I peered into the window of your soul,

 

The shattered pieces of your life, like a shroud to fill the hole,

 

A roomful of confusion, was the story left behind,

 

A teardrop dons a cheek or two, life's end can be unkind,

 

This solemn stage is deafening as soldiers come to call,

 

The pinned lapels are like trophied shelves adorning a blackened wall,

 

And as I toss the single rose atop the earthen mound,

 

I toss my sun... My moon... My stars...

 

My life, into the ground.
