Vet
When loneliness sets in
When I’m left to myself
There’s nothing to block out or distract
The Faces
The Memories
The Ghost
Of all that I’ve lost
All that I’ve taken
In war
Back at home
From haunting my Heart
Finding only peace, in the sunset
With a moment of reflection to myself
I live on
With brood force some will try
To force their way into my Heart
It’s not their place
When I’m ready
I’ll let the right one in
Walking with memories
Can be Dangerous for my sanity
Listening to ghost
Can be Dangerous for my Heart
Seeing the faces
Can only remind me that I did my duty
I did not hesitate
I’m left with a life lesson
That no other will ever understand
This is the way I feel
For I am a Man
A Warrior
A Combat Vet
