A Broken Poet

A Piece of Time

This poem is about a veteran who loses his friend and never let go...

I love like I lost

Because we grew close...

Feel the wind on my face,

Dog tags in my soul...

I stand and salute

And it never gets old...

But now I’m 60

wearing veteran hats back home

On memorial day...

I pour you a shot...

On the deck out the back

That flag is all we got...

Used to lay in the hammock

And attempt to sleep...

And all I hear are boots

Hitting hard on the concrete..

People screaming loud

When it’s too quiet to breathe

And when I hear a rifle go off

I’m suddenly off of my feet...

I still remember you...

I remember your thoughts,

Your family and voice

Ring deep through these halls...

The brotherhood was there

So firm and strong...

That when I came home

I struggled to have it resolved

Laying in our bunks

Or drinking out at a bar,

You know I had your back

With shit people wanted to start...

Writing letters back home

About how this life is so hard

I still jam out to your music

I learned to play your guitar

I walk amongst the fallen

And know I bare the guilt,

Why wasn’t it me...

Buried down into those fields’...

What made me special

That I had to survive...

I had the same struggles

Same emotion and drive...

Getting ambushed at night

Hearing bullets spray...

They offer behavioral health

But nothing seems to change...

Now when I celebrate

Memorial or veterans day...

All I can ever do

Is just sit in front of your grave
