All I wanted
Was someone to say,
"There. That's a hero.
Look at the people he saved."
All I wanted
Was just
A little glory
To share with my friends.
I never wanted
All of this—
The silence
Wrapping us in;
How the creaking
World-wheels
Grate
Against their splinters,
And some moments
If you're listening
You can hear
The whimpers of the dying.
