    After the dust settles...

    At the end there is emptiness...


    To remind me you were real;


    Just a hollow where hurt resides,


    After all the layers have been peeled.


    A river of salt still stains my cheek,


    Residues of stray tears that died;


    And with all the memories laid out,


    There’s a void that won’t be denied.


    Of walls, withered and bare,


    Of broken windows with jagged frames,


    I stand testimony to what has become


    Of a burning love gone up in flames.


    And after the dust has settled,


    As the foot prints begin to fade,


    The body stays, plundered of the soul -


    Sleep walking on the edge of the blade.


    And at the end there is emptiness...


    Just a scar from a heart at war;


    Then, there’s calm in this hallowed wreck,


    To remind me it was you I fought for.
