He was just tired. 

He knew he was. 

He's lost hope after so many years of ordering others to cling to their hope. 

But in his defence, all that he had known was mostly dead or was discharged with life changing injuries. 

He had been fighting for so long that he's forgotten what it was like to just.. live. 

Not survive.. but to LIVE. 

What's the point of fighting anymore?

Why should he carry on fighting for a better future if no one else was going to survive long enough to live that better future. 

So many deaths had been cause from this never ending war. 

He could name on one hand those he still knew to be alive and serving on one hand alone now. 

Was victory worth all this death?

Was victory worth having no one to see it. 

He just didn't know anymore. 

He just couldn't keep fighting anymore. 

He was too tired.

No more letters to soldier's love ones or friends with apologizes as they inform them over the soldier's death. 

No more watching the soldiers who had somehow survive be wheeled out of camp, unable to ever truly get another job now they're damaged and would be stuck watching their love ones struggle to feed them with less income compared to before. 

No more giving speeches when he knew that over half of those listening would be dead by the end of the year. And the rest just a couple of months or years afterwards. 

Love wasn't safe. 

He wouldn't allow his heart to break..

Or hers. 

He won't make promises they both knew he couldn't keep and leave her as the sole survivor later on. 

He won't listen to the sweet words she'd speak only to be left with silence once she was gone. 

Both have lost so much already, neither would survive anymore deaths that were too close to the heart for comfort. 

He's just so tried.

His heart has no more HOPE left in it. 

Leave him to lay in bed and rest, pray that he won't wake come morning.

Dying in his sleep would be a kinder end for the others than watching him lose his fight out in battle. 

Just let him close his eyes.

Leave him to rest.

Don't open his door to check in once morning comes. 

Leave his fate hidden behind the door.

For all their shakes. 

Because he was just too tired..

Please,

Don't force him to survive any longer,

Leave him to live..

Let him finally stop growing so..

Tired.
