Scars
Naive and unaware
Most innocent of all
Yet the price they had to pay
Was a shattering freedom fall.
Smiles wiped off their faces
Replaced with misery and grief
The echo of thrashing bombs
Reflected no relief.
Her sorrow mirrored in her tears
Each drop illustrated the loss of her joy
Devastating fear still present within her
A lonely life with not a thing to enjoy.
Her loved ones now still and lifeless
She had one wish, for this to end
As war left her nothing but a fatal heartache
One that is impossible to mend.
