A Veteran of War
Beautiful
are his eyes.
Much like his world used to be.
Look past the mask
and into his heart,
and then you truly will see
his dark, mysterious soul.
Look into his past,
and the truth shall arise.
Where his heart should be
there is a hole.
So much pain in his past,
so much hatred and death.
His heart has been crushed
too many times.
He will never know love,
for around him is a wall
that no one is willing to climb.
Once a beautiful child,
now a tortured young man;
innocent and strong-willed no more.
A quiet, fragile soul,
desperate to know love:
nineteen years old
and a veteran of war.
