A Short Toast to a Missing Soldier

Saw you walking dirt roads
You were playing with your hair
There was blood beneath your feet and beneath your nails
And oh the night was so clear
That the moon lit up your bruises
All purple and yellow and still a little bloody too
I was crying from the anger
I was ready to kill
I told you I'd protect you, a lie even I saw through
That's about when I woke up
But the tears still linger
And they glisten like rubies in the red light of my room
