Water Churning Red

There's blood everywhere;

missiles in the air

The boat we flipped

to hide behind

gave us away

they had seen us

and the blows began

the water churning red

as we each tried to run

soldiers falling around me

the scent of death

fills our heads

we can barely breathe

but we only see the shore

the barricade we implore

hide us, hide us please--

BOOM

my hearing went shrill

⠀⠀I screamed in agaony

⠀⠀⠀clutching my head

⠀⠀⠀⠀wobble toward the barricade

⠀⠀⠀I see my army

⠀falling around me

My eyesight 

is going 

blurry

⠀⠀⠀

and I see

 ⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀

⠀⠀only

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀

⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀darkness.
