your body laid out, still, silent your slim figure dressed in uniform so formal, so inappropriatly replacing your favorite faded jeans, torn from wear and your American Eagle Hoodie. your hand-toddled, carefree curls now trimmed and neat looking even darker crowing your silver face. baby fine eyelashes closed, curtaining sharp blue eyes so cleverly dotted with wit and lined with trust your beautiful smile faded, misshapen carelessly hiding the dimples you always bragged about. the quiet sound of sorrow replaces your playful laugh often mistaken for charm and your words too often taken for granted. an American flag draped behind you proudly shouts "It was a fight to the death!" mocking what you truly stood for. leaning forward a final kiss is placed upon your lips leaving behind the taste of memories, bittersweet. with unspoken orders your casket is closed your body ceremoniously marched to your resting place. a soldier marching off to war gunshots echo and with a final salute your body is buried, my heart right there beside you a tear still upon your cheek a single rose upon your grave.
