Death of My Soldier

I felt my eyes start to burn
Blinked back the tears
Tried to smile
Hid all my fears
The tears started threatening to fall
As he whispered goodbye
I prayed to God
Please don't let me cry
I needed to stay strong
I was willing to wait
He wouldn't be too long
He pulled away and left me
Sorrow in his eyes
The pain showed on my face
It was too hard to disguise
I hated the war so much
Why'd he have to go?
Every single day, I would watch the news
Wondering, why couldn't he say no?
I prayed every day for you to come home
Or the devil will soon sell my soul
The thought of you returning
Was keeping me whole
That fateful day I was with your family
Those men knocked on the door
When they told us the news
Everyone couldn't take it anymore
You were gone forever
My life had ended
My world had been shattered
No reason to live
Nothing else mattered.
My tears wouldn't stop coming
I couldn't accept the fact
That you were gone
I wanted my life to end
I couldn't, wouldn't go on
But then I realized
That you aren't dead
You're alive in our hearts
So enough said

I'll meet you in heaven. =)
