Casualty

The lifeless eyes

The spirit cold

Where once had burned

A fire so bold

The battered heart

The troubled eyes

Too little truth

Too many lies

The downward gaze

The muffled sigh

That comes with watching

Life pass by

The aching need

So hard to bear

Healed only now

When love is there
