Diary Of A War Dog

GO
Baited breath
Melting flesh
Raining flame
Awaiting death

I cannot begin to describe the horrors that I have seen
Contemplating decisions made and what life might have been
Break in the silence, beginning the violence falling to the ground
Looking to the sky
To save me from this apocalypse

Now
Human beings
Ripped apart
Asunder
Become numb

There is no escape from
The plague in my head
Visions of loss; voices of the dead
Endless days, sleepless nights
Left alone with all of my

Memories
That darken the corners of my mind
Descending deeper into
Madness
One day closer to the end
Fading from this conscious hell

I try to bury them deep in my mind
Pushing them down to the depths of my soul
Haunting visions from another time
Demons that won't let me go

I can still remember all of their faces
The look in their eyes when they died
The sound of their voices still haunt me
There is no escape from these

Memories that darken the corners of my mind
Descending deeper into
Madness
One day closer to the ending
Fading from this conscious hell
