waking up on the front line

I hate that we are

what we are;

tell them

that he remained

true to the cause,

right up till

the very end,

in spite of great

torture and torment

on the part of the enemy;

that he was a loyal

and faithful soldier

through it all,

despite deep personal

and philosophical

differences;

and so the damage

is done,

this war

does take its toll,

on both the

living and the

dead;

sometimes the greatest

battle of them all,

is just waking up

in the morning,

knowing that

it is waiting

right where it left off;

sometimes living

is the hardest option

of them all;

but sometimes,

that is all 

there is.
