Caught in a crossfire ...

I have been over and down the hill Picked up wild flowers Trying to smell the fragrance still My eyes are gritty They water incessantly Washing the fears With a salty sting There's a gaping hole in me Made by some unnamed bullet I wait for it to heal But the scar will be real The war has been won I fight a losing battle I say I believe Do I believe in what I say? I walk without a shadow It has abandoned me I see the twin headlights It does not see me One brief moment Do I defy destiny?

What stayed with you?

A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
