War; A soldier in defeat

Saw the clouds floating in their sheets 
Saw the sun loathing in its heat
The sound of guns, the drum roll beats
The people around me still, too scared to speak 

A sudden panic filled me amidst the silence
My attacker's stare was cold and his dark eyes so violent
we were two soldiers in opposal yet one man against another

I saw a smile creep up against his cheeks
Stared at the bloody palms; an gory tale of past brutality
The price of bravery is not cheap; the pain it brings runs still deep
My killer placed the heavy metal to my heartbeat
By convention we call it a gun, a war man's weapon-but to me just a valiant tool for the weak.

The first bullet was to be the last because I had perished many times before this confrontation
Dying repeatedly in the subtle agony of my disappointment
For here I was at the face of despair and worse than anything I was dowsed with worry 
The tear drop fell slowly and my last thoughts were;
courage is a myth, for at the last all we feel is fear.
