No Man Left Behind

I thought the rule was
“No man left behind.”
I’m standing here
Wounded,
With you on my mind.
You can’t come to my rescue,
You can’t say it’s okay,
I’m sitting here
Wounded,
Waiting out each passing day.
I was abandoned, betrayed,
Left alone to die.
I’m slouching here,
Wounded,
Not ready to say good-bye.
I am fighting like you,
Though without any Rank.
I’m lying here,
Wounded,
And I have you to thank.
But like you I’m a soldier,
I will never give in
I’m kneeling here,
Wounded,
Thinking of your heavenly grin.
If you can sacrifice life
I can sacrifice time.
I’m standing here,
Wounded,
Ready to battle darkness and crime.
We are oceans away,
But never apart.
I’m no longer
Wounded,
With your love in my heart.
