One last push
The war is over, finally over.
No more fighting, no more killing,
no more slaughter, no more murder,
no more bombs, no more guns,
no more wire, no more trenches
no more rats, no more gas,
no more notices home, and no more tears.
..............for Russians
They've packed up, moved out, and gone home.
The treaty has been signed, the war ended.
So while the Russians go home, we're stuck here.
Stuck with the fighting and the killing,
stuck with being away from home,
stuck with fighting someone else's war.
There have been rumors, rumors of another force,
rumors of an army that could turn the tide.
The war is not over yet, but it will be soon.
And as we prepare for one last push, one last attempt,
One last leap, one last charge,
Eastern-front soldiers join us.
(They don't get to go home either.)
For this last battle will determine everything.
A battle that must be won....
before the Americans come

Missing Pieces.
I am a missing piece. Something that someone needs.
But at the same time, I feel so incomplete.
I’ve wandered way too far, wondered for far too long
Am I a missing piece? Or a piece that won’t belong?
Is it possible I’m damaged and not missing at all?
That I’m just as dysfunctional as everybody else?
Pretending to be perfect never softened a single fall.
But neither did admitting that you’re broken and flawed.
A broken missing piece. Is that all I’m meant to be?
There is no master plan that includes the likes of me.
Being all alone, it’s a hurt that will not cease.
A hundred thousand years from now

Once Upon a Nightmare
Once upon a mystery
Once upon a crime
Once upon a lullaby
Once upon a rhyme
Once upon a thunderstorm
Once upon a lie
Because every nightmare tends to start
With once upon a time.

When Your Best is Not Good Enough
Don't speak.
Don't move.
Don't think.
Don't dream.
Don't hold yourself together.
Don't fall apart.
Don't pretend it is all going to be okay.
Don't act like it won't be all right.
Don't touch me.
Don't look away from me.
Don't be so needy.
Don't be so grateful.
Don't act silly.
Don't be so serious.
Don't have so much fun.
Don't be so sullen.
Don't cry.
Don't laugh.
Don't smile.
Don't frown.
Don't love anyone too much.
Don't be so selfish.
Don't ignore me.
Don't love me too much.
Don't breathe.
Don't exist....
And hope? Hope is just a lie you tell yourself so that tomorrow, you can do it all over again.

Another WWI poem. This takes place right after the Russians pulled out of the war to deal with their own problems, but before the Americans arrived in the fight.
One German soldier knows it'll be all over soon, but how will it end?
