War-Torn Sole Part 1
OUTSIDE THE WAR TORN WALLS LAYS A TENT SILENT WERE MANY MEN REPENT.
SO MANY DAYS I’VE SPENT NURSING MEN THROUGH THIS BLOODY HAYES,
BUT NEVER HAD I MET A MAN WHO TOUCHED ME AS HE DID AS DEATH DELAYS.
A COUNTRY BETRAYED!
I KNEW HE WAS DYING BUT HIS HEART STILL KEPT TRYING.
HE CALLED ME OVER TO HOLD HIS HAND,
THAT’S WHEN I NOTICED THE WEDDING BAND.
“SHE’S MY LIFE, THE STARS I SEE, THE AIR I BREATHE, MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE.
NEVER HAVE I MET A WOMAN SO TRUE.
EYES OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR BLUE.
I NEVER KNEW THIS PLACE COULD ERASE SO MANY LIVES WITHOUT A TRACE.
IF I HAD ONLY LISTEN TO HER,
FOR THE LOVE OF GRACE,
TELLING ME HOW MUCH SHE LOVED ME SO.
SO WE WED NOT TO BE SEPERATED.
IT WAS AROUND THAT TIME I WAS RELOCTED.
WE FOUGHT WHEN I LEFT THAT DAY.
I SAID SOME THINGS I NEVER MEANT TO SAY.
I SHOULD HAVE NEVER LEFT THAT WAY.
SHE WROTE ME LAST MAY TO TELL ME
I HAD A SON WAITING ON ME.
SHE SAY’S HE LOOKS JUST LIKE ME.”
TEARS BEGAN TO DWELL IN MY EYES.
THIS IS HOW TRUE LOVE DIES.
