You lay still
on the battlefield
muscles ripped
and skin scarred

No more air is
passing through your body
No more blood is
flowing through your vessels
No more are
felt your pulses

Your eyes are wide open
wanting to see the world longer
But your body is pierced
with arrows and gunshots

This can't happen to you
my friend dear
I want you to
be by my side longer
