HAVE YOU SEEN

 

Have you seen a man die ?
Do you know what it's like ?
To see a man die .
To sit there together ,
unable to help .

Do you know what it's like ,
to watch a man die ?
To hear that long ,
last ,
deep sigh .

Have you felt that emptiness ?
what you can't describe .
Only , if you've been there ,
can you know .
Did you cry ? .

Have you seen ?
Do you know what it's like?
As he died,
did a piece of you ?
Have you seen a man die ? .

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I hope that nobody would be in this situation.
It was hard enough as a professional soldier, watching comrades who had accepted their fate suffer.
