A Cold Night for a Soldier

The cold, white moon

Reflects the light

Of a sun that's already

Said goodnight

Cadets are sleeping

In their beds

Trying to push horrors

From their heads

But one man's awake

He cannot sleep

The thoughts in his head

Are in too deep

The blood, the screams

The friends he's lost

They've learned so much

But at what cost?

They claim he's cold

Unfeeling, cruel

A simple soldier

No one's fool

But he needs the act

To protect himself

From the agony that

Gives him hell

Friends bring fear

It shakes his core

He cannot stand

To lose anymore

His anguished sobs

Fill his empty room

The thoughts take over

The thoughts consume

Humanity's Strongest's

Fragile heart

Contracts, cracks

And falls apart
