Fallen Soldier

war

Nineteen eighteen, my seventeenth year
War almost over, or so we hear
Whistles blow, along the trench
From yonder, deaths bitter stench
Crossing razor wire, into no-mans land
Bullets scream, a target I stand
Praying to survive, a bursting shell
My body then shattered, there I fell
On a battlefield, wounded, in pain
Never see loved ones, ever again
Fluid of life, slowly ebbing away
Never imagining, this fateful day
In a wilderness, feeling alone
Through night, an incessant groan
All that's left, is love in my heart
For my loved ones, as life I depart
Hazy thoughts, come to the fore
Dead, forgotten, alive no more
Memories fading, through tearful eyes
Trying to remember, amid dying cries
Alone on a battlefield, for life I fight
A soldier fallen, taken this night
Taking my leave, a greater duty calls
Before my eyes, another soldier falls
Now I look down, on fields of poppy red
Each one a comrade, soldiers dead
Never forget, those souls so brave
For you alone, their life they gave
