“To Win and Lose”



“To Win and Lose”

11/14/14

 

Nightmares work that way

memories distracted in sleep

sometimes while wide awake

knowing you won but unsure

playing and replaying over

sometimes to win and lose

knowing the cost of losing

death and defeat staring

unable to accept this end

loading another clip then

emptying into the enemy

screaming for more ammo

awakening wet and crying

until reality comes back

slowly to calm within

breathing slowing down

all alone within the night

distracted memories there

knowing one needs to win

even in the nightmares!
