Love Letter (LL)

Since the first day I saw you

I knew, I wanted you

Your beauty and subtility

Your kind smile so bright

Your face glows, your amazing

Today we talked, three months ago

I asked for your name

Today after school

Will you meet me beneath the willow tree

Hopefully I will tell

I love you

Will you be my one true love

A star in my dark night

So I asked some friends to choose between LL, W, L,B,

W stood for war, LL, stood for love letter, l stood for life, and b stood for betrayal, I've written w and be so far, so I'm sharing w, I might share b

War

This missiles fly overhead

Our labored breathing

The blood pumping

The screams, the cry's

I hear it all

My body aches

My gun lays beside me

My comrades lay farther behind

I hold in my tears

I'm either dying here in battle

Or at home with my family

Darting off, I run

I throw grenades

I'm shouting and shooting everyone in opposite uniforms

The pain in my leg worsens

I'm shot in the arm

I duck behind a boulder

Reload,Listen,Attack, Hide, Repeat

Hours, days, weeks, months...years

Finally after who knows how long

A white flag

Raised high in the air

Our freedom? No, their freedom

They approach, hundreds, thousands of soldiers

We won

We can go home

Is it raining? No I'm crying

It's over

It's a trashy picture, but look!!! The moon!!!

At only 19, he was forced to join the war, to protect those he loved

A fight for control

Blood guts and shells

To young to have witness but there was no choice

A call for more soldiers

A fight to protect

His people , his rights, and future generations

For both the people he loved and hated

Fighting till the end

Secrets not told to just anyone

Enemies hiding in the shadows, signaling

Asking for mercy, for it to end

Scared for their safety

Begging for help, to escape

In the shadows we gain more help

One day the war will end

People will cry, mourn, and thank their people

Outsiders at one point now family to many

These wars killed many, so thank you for your service, those who survived to tell their tales and to those who died on the field as well

A deep longing from deep within

Always there but never let in

Lurking just beneath from where it began

No way to ever win

Over come with grief and pain

Learn to never let it win

Longing for something that you can never win

A pain so deep, it fills you with sin

Life(L)

My normal everyday day life

Boring as it is

Prepare some coffee, toast and eggs

Read for an hour

Listen to music

Think of scenarios

Of what could have been

Prepare his lunch

Sit and write

Today I'm thinking

Maybe a fish will bite

My dreams so big

But my hope so small

My everyday life, this is part of it all

Do my chores, read a bit more

Do I want to write? I'm not sure

Today I wonder what could have been

But tomorrow is where it all begins

Home

Home, whether that's a place, person or thing

I hope you have a safe place

You can run to when things become to much

That you find comfort with whatever it is

Family isn't always home

Home is your safe place

Where you can be you

Where you are loved unconditionally

A place why you can run to,at, or with

The warmth it may provide

Home does not have to be a place,

It can be a person you trust and love or

Something you hold dearly

Let you safe place comfort you,

To be loved unconditionally

Betrayal

Through the good and the bad

You were by my side

My secret keeper, my friend

I never once stopped listening to you

I loved and cared for you

Brought you coffee and chocolate

Never did I think you would use me like this

You stabbed a knife in my back

My heart, and my soul

You took a piece of me I can never get back

You told every secret I told you

You stabbed and laughed behind my back

Now I know, we were never that

You used me and abused me

When I no longer served you of any use

You left me,threw me away

But not before you said it to my face

Now I know you true colors

You betrayed me, Now I trust no one

When you come back begging for help

Forgiveness or acceptance

You will find the remains

Of what I used to be, what we use to be
