When I see a young face I cannot help but trace the disarrayed lines that accentuate their eyes
Your heart will beat slower but your mind will beat faster
Eventually you will learn to
refrain here
sustain there
The lines will etch themselves deeper
into your lungs,into your mind.
He must fight and kill until bodily ill.
She kicks and screams until his needs she fulfills.
He stands them up in lines.
To stay safe,she will stay in line.
These lines have scrapped their way from my mind to my soul.
I cannot help but trace the lines that harbour their eyes.
This poem was about losing yourself as you grow up to the lines that are drawn but that we cannot see in society.
The man and woman are meant to be a couple of whom the husband is a soldier who has just returned from war.
