A Cleaner Battlefield?
by Beth B.




 

It once brought joy to my darkness,
Knowing that the broken bodies of true war
Remained exclusive to my memory's domain,
Leaving whole his innocence.
 
But, all unseen, this battlefield marked him.
Trepidation haunts his eyes,
Shading dark the light which filled them,
The change invisible to all but me.
 
Victim of too many casualties
From this lesser war zone,
He stays to be my balance,
And each step draws him
Deeper into shadows
That I cannot fight.
