Once

We were young

With dreams fresh in our heads

Our worlds was black & white

Then came War

And everything changed

Two worlds rocked to their cores

As everything we knew turned strange

Turned adults before our time

Hopes & Dreams raped away

Leaving our souls shattered in the darkness

Screaming in silence with bitter pain

Both of us have scars to bare

Yours are silent and kept inside

Mine are outside for all to see

Yet these are scars we try to hide

Scars we'll have till the day we die
