BANG!The warmth spread all over my body, as the bullet struck my shoulderI feel no pain from the wound but from the pain in my heartI slowly drop to the ground as slow as the tear drop running down my faceAs i lay there on the ground gasping for air i look my foe straight in the eyeThose eyes used to be filled with anger and hateNow i see that his eyes are filled with guilt and fearI cry now that i know that i am not the only one who feels this wayBullets flying in the air,bodies dropping to the ground, and millions of eyes just filled with feari close my eyes and try to forget where i ami try to imagine i'm at home with my beautiful wife and kidsI try not to let the smell of decaying bodies around me get to my stomachI try to imagine that i’m holding my daughter and son But i can’t I can’t forget that i have killed someone like meI can’t forget about every soldier that have sacrificed their families for their countryHow can anyone forget?
