GUILT

I'm told the feelings common
In those who did survive
This ache that I still carry
Because I came back alive

Now I don't make excuses
Nor do I tell a lie
Inside I still feel guilty
That there I did not die

This feeling lives inside me
This thing I still regret
Why them instead of me now
And them I can't forget

Now I have bled in battle
Though never did I fall
By grace I was excluded
From those who gave their all
