Fallen Heroes
I watch you leave
A million times
And each time
It's harder to breathe
A boom echoes in my ear
A siren blasts behind me
But this time
I know the victim
A fire grown too large
Or a bullet gone too deep
When an officer comes to my door
I sob loudly
Why did it happen to me
Why must I bear the pain
The wife of a hero
I will remain

I am a very creative person. I love to read, write, sing, dance and act. Poetry to me is a way of self expression that lightens someone's heart. I love white chocolate and my favorite book is Anne of Green Gables
