Love of Tears

He stole my heart But they stole him Off to war, he fought And our future looked dim Before he left he pulled me in He whispered “I love you” And my pain begin I could barely mumble, “I love you too” I watched him walk away With his brothers Off to go save the day And then I saw all the crying others My heart was shattered And so were theirs Shirts were all tear-splattered Whispers were all prayers I didn’t pray for me I prayed for those who needed it more I prayed for the men going oversea I prayed for strength to face the horror Constant worrying and endless nights I’ve never felt so alone I fell in love with one of the world’s knights Who is trapped in war zone Skype calls are rough It’s a sweet hello but a painful good bye They make the waiting tough And make us both cry Months go by and soon he’ll return But one knock on the door And my whole world took a dramatic turn The news I got made me collapse on the floor He’ll forever have my heart But angels have his soul And now we’re forever apart I’ll never ever be whole My worst fears became reality The love of my life was gone And so was a part of me I didn’t know how I would go on Nearly a whole year passed I could barely keep it together We had a love that would last Although we wouldn’t see each other He was my one and only Now he was lost And I was lonely We wanted to make it work at all cost But it cost me everything Being in love with a military man I knew the pain it would bring It was a lot in a short time span But it was worth it all The love seemed all wrong But he was the man who made me fall In a love that was incredibly strong
