A Letter to My Broken Toy Soldier
Under the tree where we first met
Lies a bouquet of flowers and a note of regret
Because
Little did I know that after we last spoke
Depression arrived and your demons awoke
Under the tree where we first met
Lies a bouquet of flowers and a note of regret
Because
I did not save you when I could
Even when my heart said I should
Under the tree where we first met
Lies a bouquet of flowers and a note of regret
Because
No longer did you want to be saved
No longer did you go to war because you were brave
Under the tree where we first met
The flowers have wilted, there are two notes of regret
Because
I jumped to be with you
Oh, my broken toy soldier,
I love you too...
