The Ground

The Ground

You don't know how it feels
When you're down on the ground
Crawling through minefields
Around such awful sound

You don't know this heart
How heavily it's beating
You don't realize how it came to start
Nor why there is so much bleeding

How this love is full of holes
Searching for an end
How this love is trying to hold
This ground we are trying to defend

And you don't know why
I'm holding the tags against my chest
For this ground to die
And give you my last breath

This love of ours may be dead
But I shall still hold this wound closed
When everyone else would have fled
From the ground, I arose

This cold blood on my hands
A massive loss for us and we grieve
Over this torn apart, broken land
You're still the one I believe

    I really enjoyed this.
    The opening really pulled me in and from there on it just kept getting better and better.
    I adore the last stanza, particularly the last line, I thought that was very intense, it hit me hard and it was such a perfect way to wrap up.
    The imagery you used created very vivid pictures and the word choice and rhyme scheme are enjoyable.

    Good poem.
    The emotion was shown and it flowed well.

    'This cold blood on my hands
    A massive loss for us and we grieve
    Over this torn apart, broken land
    You're still the one I believe'

    Beautiful 5/5
