Heart wrenching sad. Sorry for your loss.

I'm glad that you enjoyed it and took the time out to read it. Thank you, Tony.

[The Kid In A Cell]

Thank you RLW. My friend died a few months ago but i just had to write something for him.

[Tony Grannell]

A rush of sorrow in this profoundly sad and perfectly composed poem. As cold as death and as the truth can be. Truly excellent.

Kind regards,
Tony.

Powerful stuff here. Very sorry for your loss.

Soldier
Not a mourner
Free to roam
Try not to get cornered
Don't look back
Always moving forward
Because the cold world only gets colder

Run on broken legs
Fly with broken wings
Flashbangs from my past
I still hear the bloody rings
Gotta shoot when you can
Run when their rifles sing
Have to keep your eyes open
Don't ever risk a blink
Sorry for those who died
They got buried with their sins
They always had to run
Had no time to praise the king
Blood-stained memories
Pain and sorrow is what they bring
Never thought that you'd die
Man, I really felt the sting
Bulletproof vest
couldn't stop a bullet to the head
Massive pain in my chest
But not a single tear was shed
I don't think that I'll forget
All the meals that we shared
See you on the other side
RIP brother, cheers

Gotta go now
Got a gun now
Moving way too fast
Gotta slow down
Got no time for no tears
Got no time for no fears
I keep losing my peers
And nobody seems to care
Soldiers suffer to survive
Have no scheduled time for grief
The only time we feel
Is when we allow ourselves to bleed...

Soldier
Not a mourner
Free to roam
Try not to get cornered
Don't look back
Always moving forward
Because the cold world only gets colder

Yours Truly,
TKIAC
