Just a dream


My heart shreds in two

He promised to come home

But who knew it was a lie

 

I heard the military band plays its song

I felt the tears and pain from my heart

It was a white dress but painfully turns to black

 

You left without a word

Everyone’s saying you’re not coming home

But to me it’s just a dream

 

I held the American Flag

It was all I had left of you

The kiss was never kissed

But all it was left behind was your casket
