Burnt down house, and tears in his eyes
raged spirit, grieved heart, fallen skies
color of blood painted the horizon by sunrise
choking with taste of blood, unheard cries
**************
There he was empty handed on his knees
begging for her life, drowning with his tears
***********
And there she was with a gun pointed at her head
turning white, scared, dizzy between alive and dead
**************
Millions of thoughts crashed into his brain
any second her life could go down the drain
now clouds are crying big drops of rain
move away this gun, and ease my pain
***********
But that soldier had orders and he didn't care
for the poor boy's best friend's precious life to spare
no mercy in his soul, cold hearted stare
in one hand the gun, the other pulled her hair
his finger close to the trigger, she gave up to despair
and in a moment no one knew what's fair and unfair
**************
The bullet went through stealing her life away
last tear on her cheek that burned on its way
millions of words she wanted to say
to her best friend running hopelessly to where she lay
holding her close under a sky so grey
whispered the words " you're here to stay "
crossed hearts promises vanished " come what may "
for him it was death itself, for others just another day...
