StrickenI fear I'll never see you,Bedstricken beauty.Another day.Ink on the page.The tears collect,Frozen by my skin.A day of my lifeBranching through each.Weeks between words,We can hardly survive.I'm engulfed in war and smoke,You're lost behind your eyes.Its almost over,Light the window's lantern.By night's receding mist,You'll awaken with my kiss.Many gather to see,Soldiers with a flag spread tight.With this kiss,I wish to bring you back to life.
