Lived and Died

In the letters that arrived.

A few at your doorstep,

A few at mine.

We lived and died,

In the sunrise, and sacrifice, 

Some beckoned you to hell, 

Some pushed me right behind.

We lived and died,

Dead but so alive,

We lived and died,

Lost sights, and hence lost lives.

We lived and died,

In the ink and candlelight,

We lived and died,

In hell- our paradise.
