Myriad Grains Of Hurt

My world was ended the day
My heart was shattered
And shards of love were crushed
To myriad, myriad grains of hurt.

My heart was shattered the day
My soldier died
And, bullet-battered, his body
Reclaimed by friends of war.

My soldier died that day
My tears were scattered
And aching love replaced my heart
With myriad, myriad grains of hurt.
