"Far away from my eyes...
still here in my heart."
~SpentHeart~
She sits alone now, waiting
Remembering their last good-bye;
Watching him slowly disappear
Into the water & sky.
Deep inside it seems as if
The whole world has stopped turning;
And the only thing that she can feel
Are her red eyes, swollen and burning.
His arms had held her so tightly,
As he gave her a last farewell kiss;
Both of their hearts almost breaking,
Wishing it weren't like this.
But he is a man of conviction,
Fast thinking and honor bound;
Commited to serving his nation,
Dedicated, well-trained and proud.
Driven by his love of freedom,
A cause in which he believes;
He must fight his homeland's enemy,
Who would destroy, maim and decieve.
His leader has called him to duty,
This time in a far away land;
Though he struggles with every emotion,
Standing tall he obeys the command.
Now she sits whispering prayers
With a heart full of love and concern;
Dreaming of their sweet reunion...
Awaiting a hero's return.
