Do you remember that fateful day?
on that battlefield covered with snow
watching the life fad from my eyes
feeling me go stone cold
growing whiter than that bloodstained snow
Do you remember me?

Killing a girl not yet 16
not yet at the prime of her life
standing there, combat boots and gun
standing in enemy lines
seems sweet, but fights with spirit
Do you remember me?

Watching the life fade from my eyes
feeling me go stone cold
growing whiter than that bloodstained snow
Do you remember my last words to you?
On my last dying breath I said,
that your deed won't go unpunished
that I'll haunt till the day you die.
This is my wish, this is your end
Do you remember me now?

I wrote this while I was reading Brother Against Brother: Timelines History of the Civil War. Back then girls would dress as guys to help their side win.
