To my soldier

The pain in my eyes,

Will be my lies demise,

I try to make it hide,

Allow the hurt to slide,

But your absence is sickening,

Every day it’s you that I’m missing.

 

You say the look hurts,

But when you leave my heart bursts,

I don’t want to burden you,

I know part of you is hurting too,

But it’s beneficial To your future,

So it’s a hit I’m going to swallow.

 

Every day without you becomes more hollow,

I try my best not to wallow,

I don’t tell you my struggles.

You tell me the look rips you apart,

Don’t ever let me come close to breaking your heart,

I will swallow the pain,tears and fears,

In return for your smile to stretch from ear to ear.

 

We faced a few storms,

A few people we have had to morn,

But we sailed through together,

Survived all weather,

Thunder buddies for life you and I,

As you return to your “9-5”.

 

My sadness could be taken as luck,

You’re the only person in my life to ever give a fuck,

And that’s why it pains me so much to say,

I love you more now than yesterday.
