Nights, cruel
Thoughts are harsh
Memories, worse
Faces blend together
Names, disappearing
Pictures mean nothing
Words, even less
The horror piles up
Stories, overwhelming
Blood soaks through
Sweat, pouring
Harder you push
Faster, farther
Slower you go
Weakened, now
Time crawls on
Knees, aching
Muscles crying
Loud, painful
But still waiting
Forever, never
Holding back
Tears, agony
Pulling yourself
Open, exposed
Flesh tearing
Raw, unnerved
Waiting for the end
Somehow, grasping
A ledge of hope
Hanging, gasping
Is this enough now
Here, holding
The future uncertain
Shaky, rocky
Reach out
Above, light
Hands stretched
Heavenward, praying
