A LOSING BATTLE

by thereluctantpoet

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

as she signs the final papers

she keeps blinking her eyes

thinking of vows, remembering lies

trying to hide what she can’t disguise

 

as the pen ends the life

that lasted for years

and the wounded walk away

she loses the battle with tears
