warzone

My body was a war zone

Where you left your mark

My mind in tatters

My feelings stark

Now that I am healing 

I avoid the day

I'd rather have 

The moonlights say. 

My body was ripped 

My body was torn

I was bedraggled

I was forlorn 

But I yearn now 

For eternal life 

To begin anew

Without the strife

To rise like a phoenix 

To fly like a swan

To know my joys

Will never be gone.
