The Unsung Heroes
He lifts on his shoulders,
The weight of all our sins.
He does not know where his journey began,
Nor how it would end.
He wraps his arms around his sister,
He lifts her off the ground.
Promising to return safely.
A silent wish to which he felt bound.
He kisses his mother's wrinkled forehead,
Cherishing each moment,
Like an extraordinary treasure,
He had just found.
For, far away he would be,
From his family's loving embrace.
Staring at the snow-capped hills,
Or the depths of the sea.
He thinks aloud on peaceful nights,
When the winds lull him to sleep.
'Honor I'll bring to my mother,
The promise to my sister, I'll keep.'
A broken promise, an open wound,
He lies on the ground.
The sanguine hue of his blood,
Cakes the mud around.
I pray for those who stay awake,
In the darkest hours of the night.
Who live and fight for our sake,
Regardless the pain and the plight.
The silence cries, it cries for them,
Those who left behind their names.
A soldier dies, he dies condemned,
Becoming a distant face in a wooden frame.
His sister asks why her brother,
Was mercilessly slain.
His mother's screams echo,
As she screams in disdain.
Heavy breathing, bloodshot eyes,
Where did they go wrong?
Clutching his badge to their chests.
Walking on their own.
After the war, he didn't return,
And they were left alone.
Oh, mighty warrior, our fearless protector,
Never were you wrong.
In the hearts of those who love you,
Always will you belong.
I’m begging you not to make a love triangle between Logan, Jean and reader 😩in the bodyguard fic
OHMYGOD I nearly posted this and then realized this wasn't a request for a love triangle it was anti-love triangle lmao, you just got saved a long-winded rant.
Don't worry that, along with miscommunication, has to be the top trope to make me want to throw my phone across the room. Plus, from what I recall from the movies, once he loves someone he's done.
He loved Jean so much in the movies and she never stopped haunting that poor man's narrative lol. Once he's chosen someone he's in. If I continued it, it would be a very one-sided attraction on Jean's end bc I just don't think a love triangle fits his character (as in liking more than one woman.)
