ARMY

Like a gun

safety to loaded 

life pulled the trigger 

in one swift second she became dead with sorrow 

Old memeories filled her head 

tears stream down her face 

a flag that once seemed so innocent was now drenched in his blood 

the flag was dropped in her hands and she realized this was all she had left of him 

her love was now nothing but a broken promise 

she waited for his safe return everyday  

Realizing she would never see those muddy boots hit the floor again 

the feeling of his dog tags against her skin 

the feeling of his lips 

she wakes every morning with the pain of a bullet entering her heart 

Meeting the same fate he did
