letter to my lover; my last fight

Dear Brenda............

wake up call to that fine heart

I know it has been a while
I have missed you more than words can say
I hold your memories in the cold nights
I feel your love when all hope is lost
the thought of you keeps me strong

it has been days since the last attack

my heart still sorrows over the loss of my friends

i pictured you smiling when it seemed like the end

the horrors of the war have taken a toll on me

i have seen death in the claim of land

blood and death bring no fear to my soul now

i feel myself losing my humanity

i hold to this fading memory of your perfect smile

as the devil knocks and calls me to the beyond

i pray i survive this human despair

to rejoin my one true love

but if the heavens call upon me

live, love and prospered

raise our young in the way we learned

teach them the truth

and love them as we would

be happy and live

for my love will never die
