I tried…( A soldier’s cry)

[unique mica]

I tried……
( a soldier’s cry)

With each breath
With each step
I held onto your dream
Your peace, your sleep
I tried I really tried

When it rains, when it pains
When I’m weak, when I’m mean
I hold it tight, scared for life
I fell, I stood, I fell, I stood
Out of breath, trembling hands

i…. i…. i…

I feel it fade away, all in my hand
Sitting by a wall, thinking of you
Thinking what we could have been
Thinking our home, our dog, our kids

Thinking, thinking, thinking
If I was strong…

But I tried, I really tried

I hear those step’s,
whispering about someone rant.

Someone with a gun, with a strap,
Someone with a hole in the chest.
Someone in boots and red dress.
Someone lost, someone dead
But I tried, I really tried

I fought with my gun,
with my pain,
With all that I had left.
I roared, I screamed
I called for help.
I stood until I fell
I tried, I really tried.

I'll read it in the evening

[simple dove]

I hear your breath break,
the load in every step
dragging boots in ash,
in the spectre of a dream
I felt every I tried a fist in the throat,
a wound that won't heal,
still pleading believe me

The wall you rest against,
I see the blood in its bricks,
the dog that barks in the silence,
the children who live in the cracks.
Their laughter is shrapnel
If I was strong…
But the rain always answers,
always drowns the reply

I watched you clutch the gun
and your ribs, the strap
of a life split in two,
one half screaming,
none half already buried
Someone lost, someone dead
yes, I met them
They wear your face

You roared,
You raged,
You bled the sky dry,
And when the earth finally took you,
it was soft, like a mother
who forgets her child's name
But you tried…
you really tried
Well Written 🫂

@ornate zealot this is a really simple yet emotional one, it’s somewhat similar to ur style so i think it resonates to u

[ornate zealot]

Love hurts. The last thing to think before fading into the blue is your love. Rest in peace soldier. Thinking what could have been...
How I'm feeling rn too. I don't want to be strong, I want to be vulnerable, crying into the abyss just to lessen the pain of a love.
It really does resonate with me. Thank you!
