I See the War



I See the War
                        

I see the war
in the pale blue
of your eyes

You’ve got a battle
you cannot win
no matter how hard
you try

Never seeing what lie
ahead all those years ago
left with all those lies
you can’t leave behind.

I see the war
in the pale blue
of your eyes

Still you reach
still you strive
riding the tide
of all those tears
you still cry.

  1. cool repetition...seeing war in your eyes, but choosing not to go there, instead to cry...it is a valiant choice...

  2. I winder if the violence we experience ever really leaves us--and somehow the tears never really wash it away

  3. I like the repetition of those eyes still ravaged by war & tears ~ I am guessing the effects of war still lingers on ~ Good one Lisa ~
