A Tragedy

His love for her was boundless.
Her love for him was groundless.
They would have given the world for each other.
They would have killed for one another.

He was a soldier who went to fight a war.
She was a woman who cared for the poor.
He would have given his life for her.
She would have done the same for sure.

As the man went off to fight in a war.
The woman told herself to wait a little more.
She waited and waited, but he did not return.
That moment was when life took a turn.

The man had gotten injured in war.
It turned out that his luck was poor.
The woman found out a week later,
About the mans apparent disfavor.

A month later, the woman got a letter
That said the man was not getting better.
It was quite obvious what the letter said.
Soon enough the man would be dead.

The woman cried for quite awhile.
For her the world seemed to turn vile.
Her love was dead, and it caused her pain,
And outside her window, it began to rain.

But later on, when her world seemed poor,
The man came to her just once more.
They talked about it for quite awhile,
And only after the talk did the woman reconcile.

Eventually, she decided, life was good.
Things had turned out as they should.
The woman, however, knew she did not belong.
So she took her life, after singing a song.

The man and woman in Heaven reunited,
And the flames between them were once again ignited.
Then the man held her close and whispered in her ear:
Let us never part again, and always be near.
