You left one day
Not but a feather black behind
A letter sealed with blood wax
A letter written with noire ink

You left one day
Not but a rosebud red behind
Words sayings your sorries
Words sayings your apologies

You left one day
Not but a ring sliver behind
A promise you spoke
A promise you broke

You left one day
Not but a child new behind
A wife you had
A wife you left

You left one day
Never would you return from suicide
A mission you were given
A mission you had died for

You left one day
Not for your son
Not for your wife
Not even for your country

You left one day
They all told you not to go
Your body came back a hero
Your selfishness was left behind

You left one day
The next was your burial
Nowhere were you
Just your ashes left under a willow tree
