You were left to die
A caged animal
Withered and broken
A folded flag your only thanks

Scratched and faded
Your memory adorns my wrist
Letters etched into cold metal
Vanishing with time

In the jungle your bones remain
Decaying on enemy soil
Tossed aside and forgotten
Just another name on a wall

A vibrant red turned pink
Provokes a somber thought
Your blood is the crimson carpet
On which I freely walk
