It's different
This time
It's different
I'm sure

This time
I can't breathe
I am not sure
I can't see the picture
That to me
Was always so
Crystal
Perfect
Clear
Obvious

It's different
This time
It's different
You know already
What I
Am only now
Grasping

Only now
Figuring out

That this is my life
Mine
Not ours
Mine
Not yours
Not in any way

Not going to visit
You are not coming home
There will be no more
Us
That makes them wonder
Us
That makes it clear
Us
Against them
Us
As a team
Us
An unspoken love
Spoken in the hours
When the world slept

Us
Has died
Left me a prisoner
Of a war
I didn't realize I was fighting
A civil war of sorts
Friendly fire
Forgotten mines
Casualty of the times



~ may I die this way ~
