Fellow Sky Soldier


Regret is something you feel from experience It burns through my core from thoughts of the war I cant take the memories that shatter my dreams anymore It grips my mind till my body falls to the floor The ripping inside my heart, rips till it beats no more Memories reflected, fade and fade until their gone Like pawns in a chess game until there is only one These single moments of regret take shape in everyone So they hold it close, and fight till they've won, Regret drives me to pull farther and farther from the people I love Regret is something you feel from experience A big smile and a hug, and off he was for the bird I'll see you later was the last thing I heard Hearing the dreadful news his life has been taken I fell straight to the chair and started shaking No, This can't be true, don't lie to me, there must be a mistake Fuck, take me for him, he's superman for gods sake Its to late he is already gone, the war for him has come to an end I should have been there, instead, its me they send Draped in the colors he died to protect, brothers forever All the memories of him were coming together, A lot is said about him, from the gathering of all his brothers of the HERD. All the things not said, and not done in this life, we'll do afterward. Rest in peace, in this life and the next, forever my brother.
