Hope.
A glimmer of hope.
A wish.
A remembrance of a wish.
A wish of survival.
A wish of seeing them again.
Seeing your family.
You friends,
Those that aren't already dead.
A whisper of hope when you crawl back alive.
A smile to share before the next bomb goes off.
Then you duck again.
And the hope is gone.
You will die here.
Sure as sure.
Never again to see those you love.
'Good-bye' you think
But then it's quite again
And the hope returns.
This is the worst part of the fight.
The stupid hope.
The hope that keeps you going.
The hope that in the end will kill you.
You look up at a shout.
"Run," they scream.
So run you do.
But run you shouldn't.
Too late now.
There it comes
Your doom
You look it in the eye and know it's over
Hello doom
Hello death
Like a wave you're engulfed
A ripple that rips you apart
Limb from limb
Leg from torso
Arm from neck
Gone is your brain
Gone is your luck
Gone is that hope,
You'd knew would rip you apart
Goodbye you whisper as the dark closes in.
For that hope is all gone,
Never even there.
That hope was a phony,
Only leading you on
Knowing the war would kill you
All along death was just watching,
Letting you play.
But play time is over.
So you smile and wave, as best as you can,
As death comes to grab you.
Just another casualty in this God forsaken war.

PoetryJust a few random poems that I've written. Most of them are really short, and are confusing, but they're what I think and I want to share them. I also want to know honestly how good/bad they are.
