Firefighters Creed

FireFighters Creed:

Alarms screaming.
Birds singing.
But her heart was bleeding.
I held her as she died.
CPR couldn't revive.
How could I save what God wanted taken 
away.
Is this how God repays ?
Maybe if I was a minute earlier.
If I didn't take that extra time getting out 
the drive.
I would of been able to save this young girls 
life.
It haunts me every night.
Pictures of her in the last moments of her 
life.
I was pulled away by my fallow brothers in 
arms.
Brothers with the FireFighter emblems on 
there helms.
Tears roll down my face.
First time is the worst is what they all seem 
to say.
But should a 17 year old boy be here in the
first place.
I look in the mirror when all these Questions 
race in my brain.
mocking me, Judging me, pointing, laughing, 
calling me names.
"Great good job Jess letting her die"
"Well god damn what a terrific guy"
I know it was my choice to enter the service.
But I wish I could of lived a bit first.

For No Name

For No Name:

Look at me like you looked at him.
Love me like you could never have had him.
Everything that was made for two.
I will always be here to share it with  you.
Even if I'm not him, I'll always treat you as 
if I were him.
So when the the man you really love.
Realise's the pain you've always ran from.
It's okay I don't need you to apologise.
Just remember the look I've always had in 
my eyes.

Man of the World

Man of the world:

His eyes were the trick to his disguise 
His lies were the key to his guide
As he lay there deep with in the lie
He realized 
Nor he nor anyone else could relinquish him of the pain he'd hide
Of the pain he'd hide
So if he fell astray
If he fell behind
No one would be left to help him fly
