DON'T LEAVE ME, KEEP ME SAFE

The nights are so long Lonely and cold Where is my cover? Each day comes with its own challenges Pulling hard on every sling that holds me I keep fighting knowing my survival lies in fighting and winning I pray my hands never leave my sword because I must win. Fight side by side with me Defend my back Don't watch helplessly while I fight Don't leave me Keep me safe I know you are a thousand miles closer.
