I've left this world to escape the pain
And left you with a reminder: blood stain...

Dear Soldier,
I know you believe in the red, white and blue...

If time could tell us all what we want to know
Then life would pass by so slow...

At night I lay in bed
With thoughts of you running through my head...

I'm eaten up with all this pain;
This life of mine has nothing to gain...

In the years I've known you time has passed.
Things have changed but friendships last...

With every breath that I take I fall more in love...
With every tear I cry it's you I want to be close...

A steady gaze with piercing blue eyes
An echoing silence filled with urgent cries...

I’m old enough now to take care of myself,
And I know you probably feel unneeded now...

I try to fool myself into believing I'm an adult
Maybe it's my errant emotions that are so...

I hear the rustling of wind in my ear
A whisper of unabashed fear...

Sometimes what I feel
Deep inside me is concealed...
