Invisible Tears

Waiting so long
...to return home,
When I finally did
...I walked to this park
Of memories of who
... have fought with me
Against the giant monster
...of war- the heat of guns and bombs
Flying and exploding to our faces.

Thousand had told me
...that the war was over.
But deep in my heart
... my coldness stayed.
I still heard voices
... playing back to me
The scream and pain I saw
... were too much to bear.

I couldn't sleep at night,
...for sorrow filled within.
I cried everyday without anyone knew
... my invisible tears.
The tears that I had
... couldn't clean thousand blood I slayed.
The thousand scars I had,
...couldn't heal by time.

And a thousand years went by,
Who would remember each soldier
Who once had fought so hard
With their life forever changed.
And a thousand years went by,
And soon all would forget,
What war brought us-
Endless unspoken sorrows.

Side note: Please excuse my childish attempt to write a war poem. In reality I don't know much about war. None of my immediately family members were soldiers. But I hope you won't mind reading this poem.

Good job. A sensitive soul like yours does not have to have personally suffered. Love, Joyce

Eliza: Never apologize for writing about something you have not personally experienced. That is what sensitivity and imagination are all about! Very touching poem.

Dear Eliza,

I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS!!!!

esp this:

And a thousand years went by,
Who would remember each soldier
Who once had fought so hard
With their life forever changed.
And a thousand years went by,
And soon all would forget,
What war brought us-
Endless unspoken sorrows

Love
Michelle
