Tell Me...

A battle field so familiar...
Standing there in the midst of it all
We laugh.
You tell me jokes
We laugh
As we stare to what may very well be our doom.
My only friend
One I have let so close
Why do you not speak?
Your breath...it has ceased.
Tears stain my cheeks.
Come back to me...
Open your eyes...
Come back to me...
And tell me this wasn't my fault...
Tell me...laugh with me...
Do not leave this soul you have opened to the world 
So new and fragile
You had broken down it's walls
And now...you leave it so vulnerable...
Come back...back to me...
And tell me...this wasn't my fault...
