Thank You War

Her whispering phone calls cannot be received here,
The same that used to reopen eyes recently closed,
To the weariness of a favorite book,
Her whispers,
I can still hear,
In a lullaby between the gunfire and sirens.
I know I've forgotten the many times,
When I needed her the least,
That I was still the one,
Who needed her the most.
As promised,
I look up to Orion,
As she promised,
To look up to Orion.
As promised,
I tell Orion the same thing every night,
To wish her a good night,
And to let me survive the night.
As promised,
She tells Orion the same thing every night,
To wish me a good night,
And to let me survive the night.
Thank you war,
And I mean that with the most sincerity,
For putting my heart in the stars,
As I have nothing to love where I am,
And thus no need for it here.
It belongs to her,
I've instructed Orion to deliver.
If ever there comes a night,
When I fail to wish you a good night,
When I've failed to survive the night.
Her whispers,
I can still hear,
In a lullaby between my failing breath and the beats of my heart on its way to Orion.
