Without Rhyme or Reason

Something for each episode, told in verse. This is a personal challenge from me to me, as a way to stretch my writing muscles by doing something different. Warning: poetry ahead.

21. The Soldier on the Grave

*Haunted*

.

.

.

His past haunts him
Lives taken
Lives lost
Lives not saved

.

.

His past haunts him
Secrets he keeps
Stories he doesn't tell
Pain he doesn't share

.

.

His past haunts him
Pride in his service
A duty accepted
A job he chose

.

.

His past haunts him
Until a moment
when he reaches out
and she's there

.
