Even blood of blood seem to strike no resemblance until the hands and heart are locked up in stiff chains of adversity.

The green eyes poured down tears of intense grief,
Mind went through a rhythmic flow of memories.

And painted your face pretty much in gloom,
fighting like a warrior on the field, where no flowers bloom.

And someone stabbed you unmercifully to death,
you cried and called for help.

And the sky tore to a tumultuous roar,
the nature tried dragging out your life's encore.

so much clamour, so much of sorrowful noise,
that is what happens, when a hero dies.

I recently lost a friend, and that was no one else but the soldier inside me. The cruelty of this world crushed it to death.
