A wandering vagabond, lost in thought;
Haunted by memories of the battles he fought.
Everything changed after the war;
Nothing the same, not like before.

Remembering how life was once mundane,
Until his mind struggled just to be sane.
His loneliness along with a lingering fear
Diminished him more and more each year.

Imminent rejection – cast out and forsaken;
Looks of disdain towards the oath he had taken.
All that is left – a regretful past,
A dismal future, deemed an outcast.

She past you, but doesn't notice you.
Drained from emotion
she waits till death grasps her.
She faces it with no fear but rather welcomes it.

Thank you both.

The spirit can be lost, whether the battle is won or lost.
