WAR GAMES

Definition of a Tear




She said
My love you look so pale
He said
The sky's so grey today

He picked up
The old guitar
Which wasn't in tune
That was ok 
It was at war

He sang some words
No melody
About some hopes and dreams
And memories
And love and love
That wasn't there
It should be though
He thought 
And took some air

When she then cried
Because the tune so sad
He touched her hand
Just to make sure
She was still there
And to demonstrate he was with her
Because he knew
She was alone

The bullet came
When he kissed her
Without an alert by the foe
'Cause that's not what a foe is for

The bullet casing fell to ground 
The combat boots they walked away
When something liguid and red
And warm and warm 
Splattered across her arms and legs
And lips 

His fingernails cut into skin
He clinged to her
And caught some breath
That wasn't there
Red liquid came 
Out from his mouth 
Onto her skirt
But it was dirty anyways

When he then died
He looked at her
With nothing said she understood
He closed his eyes

She touched his hand
With just her fingertips 
And laid him down
Onto the cold, white earth
When snowflakes started falling
Onto his white skin and bloody lips

My love you look so pale
She said
And then she cried
