42- dear soldier,

you have fought bravely,

conquering the wars 

of your heart and mine


you have won many battles among the stars 

with increasing infinities of scars

stronger weapons couldn't stop you from great heights


you knew your way around words

you would quote many writers in varying versions through the tide

like Cassandra Clare, Rick Riordan, J. K. Rowling, John Green,

Shakespeare, Charlotte Brontë, Edgar Allan Poe, Carolyn Keene


sometimes you'd use your words with great cunning

as a weapon when the world faked to be euphoric

and even as the atmosphere seemed to scream "dark and foreboding"


but in the end you had to die

because sometimes

bravery and trust can get people killed


with the good comes the bad as with the dark, there must be light


as the enemy surrenders 

fearing more brutal truths

just remember to continue

for "it is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light (Aristotle Onassis)"


your life is so much more important even as you now look at it among millions
