he just turned 17
eager to join the military he rushed his chance
no ropes
no chains could hold him back
...
fear fear fear your not my friend
fear fear fear you are the end
fear fear fear will you ever cease?
fear will consume
...
hit by a wave of love
burned by a compassion ever so warm
this love..
this love i have for you
...
sing to me star, sing the song that you have to bare
cause i am restless from the fight to my enemies
but hear not what others discourse
they are naive in their ways
...
a life so happy
a life so steady
a life so full
a life so loved
...
help me...
help me...
the bridge has been burnt down
burnt and irreplaceable
...
my promise
Till the end of time...
Till the end of all...
Till the end of the road...
...
for once...
you will notice things you never noticed before
for once...
you will see the hatred in the world
...
pain of loss...
pain of defeat...
pain of a lost one...
to the clenches of death and beyond
...
i loved you
i cared for you
but all i got back was pain
pain of loss
...
he waited from night to night
he waited till the son started peeling over the horizon
he waited till he heard the morning birds chirp
he waited for a long time
...
take my hand walk with me
walk with me through this place of disgrace
take my hand walk with me
walk with me through this place of hell
...
i feel the tender touch trickle onto my skin
bathing over my body
consuming the depths
enveloping my being
...
they say
'everything happens for a reason'
maybe that's a lie
maybe that's fake
...
i set into motion
a mood that knows no slumber
a mood of deepened feelings
a mood of deepened feelings
...
run away with me
take my hand forget it all
all the betrayals
all the hatred
...
The lancer waits..
For the break of dawn he awaits
Waiting to fight
To fight his enemy that was forced upon him
...
what do you say when you see everything but not knowing everything?
what do you say when you first fall to the hands of another?
what do you say when you are told to rescue?
what do you say when you are trained to kill?
...
so what will happen?
so what will happen when it is all over
so what will you do
so what will you do when it is all over
...
i love to write that is all)
Fallen Marine
he just turned 17
eager to join the military he rushed his chance
no ropes
no chains could hold him back
he was a leader
he was a scholar
he waved his last goodbyes to his parents
his parents he loved
the parents he adored
he never forgot his mom
dad
sister
brother
and his girlfriend that he was so yearning to hold
a kiss a hug
then he was off
off to a land unknown to his mind
a land unknown to his body
cold harsh land
he jumped off the bus first
eager to be trained
eager to be disciplined
he was trained
trained to be a killer
a killer
a savior
a helper
a lover
and a marine
he hasn't gotten a phone call in months from his family
oh how he missed his family
oh how he missed his love
but he knew they loved him back
he kept a picture of them in his upper right pocket
kissing it every night
praising the lord he is still alive
he heard the news
he knew it was time
he grabbed every thing
he suited up
not knowing what lies ahead but still eager
he does not know the land he is traveling to
but when he lands
he feels welcomed into the family
his fellow soldiers litter the airport
he does not know where he is at
he was told not to ask questions
a month later he was fighting
fighting with all the anger and will in him
he was hit in the leg
he was hit in the arm
fell the soldier
but not broken
he stepped up to death and looked him in the eyes and said
''my work is not done here
there are lives to save here
this is not going to end here''
he breathed heavy
his chest was pumping his legs were thumping
on the hard sand floor
he knew his time was almost up
as fired his last bullet
as he spent his last breathe
he fell
he fell hard
but not dead oh no
he spotted death looking on him
over the smoke he saw death riding on his stead
but he wanted to give his last good bye
to his love
he knew he would not return
he knew the price
he pulled out the picture from his pocket
he gave it a loving kiss
the last one he will ever give
but he made it long
but as death neared
he prayed to the lord and to his family
''goodbye he said''
goodbye
the last goodbye he said
and the last goodbye he will ever say
for now he is gone
gone forever
but he will be remembered
remembered
as a marine
a marine that has fallen
to protect his family and his love
