The cross hairs tangle,
My vision, a blur,
The gunfire thunders,
But my thoughts spread to her.

Erupting around me,
This building dissolves.
The bullets explode,
As my concentration evolves.

I grab two grenades,
And tear out the pins,
Hurl them over my shoulder,
As my head quickly spins

A deafening 'Roar',
Makes me ask why I'm here.
I could be hugging her tightly,
Instead, I'm in the death grip of fear.

I pray that I'll see her,
One last time to say,
"I've loved you since day one.
Will until the last day"

My heart almost bursts
When I get to my feet.
Because whistling bullets,
were searching for meat.

I jump for my cover,
Afraid for my life.
Her voice in my head,
Makes my grab for my knife.

And then it all hits me,
I need to live.
Nothing will stop me,
Nothing will give.

I just need to see you
You're all that I've got.
If I get home alive for an instant,
I will know why I've fought.
