I am the medic

The stoic but caring one

I was taught to distance myself

But that was never enough

I wanted to help

Even though everyone

Only see me as a kid

Yes I'm naïve

But I'm resourceful

I'm not a waste

But I took care of others

For too long

Now I'm searching

For someone to comfort me

Take care of me

Instead of the other way around

I may wear that mark

But I'm not ready

To be completely selfless

I had to be strong though

And it felt like my heart

Splitting every time

I wanted to just let go

Depend on him

I didn't want to wander off

But I was being proud

I secretly was impressed

That he wanted to save me

He could have let me die

But I had a feeling

That his heart was tainted

But not completely corrupt

We fought against one another

Saying we didn't need each other's life

On the others hands

But in the end we did

I didn't want to leave him there

That salute took more out of me

Than the entire day had

Every bit of energy

Went into walking away

To not walk back to him

Rush to him

But I had gave him

Another chance

I just hoped he would

Get the chance

To live it out

I continued ahead

But that metal

Burned my neck

Knowing he had worn those

That he was there with me

Just let us see one another again

Someday in the future

That is all

I could wish

Before I wished

The past day away
