Will we see each other
After all this is over?
Will we find in each other's eyes
All the truths beneath our lies?
When all the sky's a deeper red
And all our loved ones have dropped dead
Will our pain help us understand
All the blood that soaks our hands?

Have all the deaths turned out worthwhile
Just to see our children laugh and smile?
Each step they take had cost a life
Someone's father, their lover or wife
Do our tears make up for it all?
For how swiftly we caused them to fall?
Their dying screams that haunt our sleep
Are all we have of them to keep
Written right after reading The Hunger Games trilogy, in Katniss' POV.
