I closed my eyes from God

To see the world.

Now I'm blind

To its beauty and beyond.

Paranoia rings like gunshots.

Reflections lie in the blood at my feet.

What was once peace

Now lies as pools of rare reprieve.

The more you have,

The more you have to lose

And the less you have

Is still something to be taken.

The war rages

But in silence.

Echos of defeat

Fuel a battle of attrition.

Failures

Fears

Doubt

All ammunition.

But somehow,

There is solace

In the darkness of the trenches.
