KIA

'I don't believe you' I said,
Deadly thoughts filling my head.
'I won't accept that it's true,'
'At first I doubted it too.'
My mother sadly stated,
That tone in which I hated.
My father entered the room,
With a look of fear and gloom.
'Did you hear about the news?'
Courage I started to lose.
As tears welled up in my eyes,
I realised these were no lies.
Regrets filled my hurting heart,
I didn't want us to part.
And that's the day when my soul tore,
When my father was called up for war.
