war kills love

kids together

growing tall

new ideas

old stone house

locked door

pounding fists

let me ins

silent trees

lost and found

war kills love

love kills war

man comes home

filled with fear

concrete cover

finds her there

old stone house

unlocked door

taken in

held hands

soft kiss

leads to more

soon a slap

empty bottles

secret outings

left alone

heart breaks 

unwanted beatings

body crumbles 

packed bag

late night

cold bed

forgotten heart

empty soul
