“To Win
and Lose”
cji
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!
