Someone else's war

Then unbelievably there was silence
thought I caught your past in the act, creeping
Attempted manipulation of love
sneakers quiet into your room while sleeping

Always a spare hand to cover your mouth
as you draw your fearful, breath, to protest
Kindness never a grace, as used against
attainments to the past plead no contest

I'm ready to jump in, voice as fists raised
for I was dragged up, amongst the broken
Lived and died for and in every moment
love was action oriented, unspoken

Facts are simple to follow, hard to swallow
hardest part of healing is letting go
