FACES IN THE DARK



I see your faces most nights in 
My dreams. You won't ever be
Forgotten, and I'm not the only
One. Your families, friends and 
All who served feel your loss.

I face those demons, and I have 
Been so close as well. I tell others
To call, but I didn't either. I just
Managed to bring myself back 
From the edge. I was just lucky.

Remember, if you read this that 
There are people who love and 
Care for you. Don't ever believe 
That you're bothering us, it's 
That Demon and he is a liar.

If it's four a.m., then call, and we 
Can go get breakfast. I'll stay
Up all night, whatever you need.
The oath we swore had a hidden 
one that made us Brothers for life.

I know if I need it you will do it
For me. Just call me, and let me 
Do it for you. I'll take a sleepless
Night over not having you around.
If you're reading this it applies t you.
