I'm War Torn

I had forgotten you friend

The war came to an end

Life went on however much unlived

How does one really go on?

 

Such a different view

No curtains no veneer

Yet more real I am as those memories nearer drew

 

I've seen the worst there is to offer

Seen how lies can fill a coffer

Were we victims or the cause?

Did we set the rules or were we breaking laws?

 

Hindsight tells the tale

It made me stronger but made recovery much longer

I'll choose next time to skip the line
