Survivor

I stand alone in an empty field,

My fingers gripping a battered shield,

Lost amidst the bodies of my friends,

Thinking about how badly ends

The lives of those who will not yield.

These men gave their lives to be free,

To fight for the rights of you and me,

But I yet live, it’s so not fair,

But ending it myself, I do not dare,

For my love I want to see.

I’ll learn to live with surviving a war,

With the woman I adore

By my side through the thick and thin,

Helping me bear the weight of the cardinal sin

Of being the last soldier knocking on Heaven’s door.
