Innocent Blood : Adult Poetry

written by Poet : cavirzanee


When I look into your eyes, you melt my heart away. So much love you have given.With you I want to stay. But a battle rages on the distant hill. I must go, a solder taught to kill.

For her the battle is endless. She reads of solders dieing each day. She reads of chidren sinless. Dead and wounded killed while running away.

My hands have been washed a hundred times. Nothing seems to remove the stain. Of the innocent blood, I find. In my hands I see so plain.

We did not target the innocent, they were put in our way. We were told to go, we went. We didn't know by what rules they played.

I long to see my woman but somehow I have changed. Scars that time cannot heal, cannot rearrange.Will she know me? Would she understand? I am a solder, not just a man.
