Pyrrhic
April 3, 2023
I wish we never made it to the end
It was better when swords were drawn,
Battling for our lost
Battling for our lives
Battling for our future
We did come out in victory
But it does not feel that way
The war outside has ceased
But the war in my mind is still firing shots.
Shots at my energy
Shots at my brain
Shots at my heart
Triumph can not occur after all that is done
Look at our land,
Our Friends
Our foes
And you
I wish the end wasn’t as bitter
When I said death do we part,
I thought I had an eternity with you
To laugh at your jokes
Have your shoulder to cry
And for when I need it
To stand by your side
But war doesn’t wait for eternity
War fires shot, after shot in hopes one side outplays the other
In the end their is no winners
We all lost someone
I wish we never made it to the end
But in my end, i hope to join you
Pyrrhic – a victory that is not worth winning because so much is lost to achieve it.
