Forget Me Not
They ask me where I've been,
What I've done and what I've seen,
But what can I reply
For who knows it was not I,
But someone just like me
Who went across the sea,
And with my head and hands
Killed men in foreign lands.
A shot, and then a scream,
No, it must have been a dream!
Such a way I could not act
Had my senses been intact...
I lay here on my bed,
Hearing voices of the dead
Whispering beside my cot,
Whispering, "Forget me not!".
They ask me where I've been,
What I've done and what I've seen,
But what can I reply
For who knows it was not I?
