Broken Promise
Shot in the chest a soldier staggers, alone, through the woods to his end
It happened in the midst of battle but it wasn't his enemy, it was his friend
Both loved the same woman and jealousy ran deep
The battle broke and havoc ensued, the friend took the leap
Frustrated that he came in second, he had to win
Given the chance, he released the monster within
He stared his his friend in the eyes
He shot him dead center and watched him wander off to die
That soldier has seconds left
He sees his one true love before he embraces death
