Silence in the Dark

There was a silence that never had a name.

There lived a moment a man could never be the same.

When the moon does not shine

When the sun waits to rise

Each hour, someone in the dark

Finds peace within his heart

We like to tell a story of a good person,

and we leave out which we believe should not be seen.

But the truth still hides in the dark.

So let me tell you piece by piece,

what other people could not erase.

A history within his path,

he never want.

You've asked me once,

I answered twice.

You've asked me more,

I did not deny.

I am he who found him here,

in dept of sorrow just like tonight.

He cared for love,

he cared for peace,

he carried scars for me to heal.

Tonight the words, starts to bleed,

a simple thought in darkness mid.

The light soon shines,

it hold no truth,

behind the mirror

where I stood still.

Silence in the dark,

louder than any voice

Silence in the dark,

matters in every choice

The eyes shall see,

the hidden voice

The ears shall hear,

each and every choice

Each step moves forward

to one he did not deny

Come close,

come closer

to echo my voice

You can not hear silence's choice

Your mind clouds you no longer

and I rejoice

Silence in your mind seems so loud

it echo's my voice

Dark begins to flood,

your heart by choice

Your eyes sees no longer

the man he sees

The heart remains

The mind became

Not of pain,

and not of sorrow

Not of tears,

not broken it follows

Not of lost,

nor you find what seems light had borrowed

Not to gain,

not to tame,

nor win nor hide

just the moment,

that darkness

is brighter than light

Let me bring you

to the eye of a memory—

It was the time,

and the moment like this.

Four AM...

Mission wasn't accomplished.

He had but one.

But a choice has none.

He holds he riffle close,

breathing the dusky air.

Hot and moist the morning breeze,

through desert moon,

the sun will rise.

He aims,

and he waited.

157 yards

on top of a desert hill.

A path was open,

that hid what remained.

His mission was,

to eliminate that name.

One order.

One shot.

One order, no turning back.

Shoot anyone

that comes out that path.

Shoot no matter what

no matter who you see.

A man?

a soldier?

A woman?

...

but no...

no...

not a...

he sees...

she held still...

a bright red light...

she carries...

in his ears he hears...

fire

besides him

his spotter.

He looks at him,

he said

shoot

engage

he hesitate...

she's but a....

no...

he closes his eyes....

hopes to miss....

his heart pounds....

breath slows...

each seconds slows....

the trigger...

and...

click

is all he heard.

Not sound of a hammer smashing copper

or the noises of panic

nor the spotter besides him saying

go, go...

return fire.

he stops..

Everything turns blur...

he drops the riffle...

he took his side arm..

explosion,

a whisper in the air,

but louder than thunder.

His eyes closes...

his mind clouded.

Then darkness...

And he forgets,

but I remember.

... Leo.
