F*ck Me When the War Is Done, and Other Poems by Ninnachel by Elwin Fortuna

Song for the Lonely Soldier

I've been awake for two days straight now
And fighting far away from you
I've been drinking a little too much today
You'd frown, but alas, it's true.

My days are far too lonely without you
My nights are way too sad.
I'm torn in two with my need to defend you
And my need to be held and had.

If you, in your mist-covered fields,
Think of me, if you miss me at all,
Picture me being part of the shields
That cover you, yet let you stand tall.
