Open Your Eyes

As His Eyelids Fell

He was torn apart

Each of his inches

No words spoken

None came to interest

The memory looms

Soaked in crimson

Of the day peace was broken

Without something to fix it

 

The entry wounds

Made emergency exits

Pieces on the pavement

Nothing to connect with

Red roped velvet

Trailing the tragedy

Roses on a casket

Bodies from the battle scene

 

It’s sad to see so many souls

Come and go these days

Followed without answers

For the questions that he raised

Gotta be a better place

Reassurance to himself

Mind going blank

As his eyelids fell
