A Love Letter.

She shyly smiles with glossy eyes

Holding the pen as the time fly's 

Trying to write but the paper remains blank

Her heart to pour out cries

Her pulse gets weaker with time

Her heartbeat there but sublime

She thinks about the known face

Remembers his smell, sweet thyme

She picks up the pen and writes a word

With thousands left to be heard

Wanting to be shouted out

Wanting to be free, like birds

But she is crippled by her fear

Of the letter not reaching near

Near the heart that it was written for

The tragic story of her tear

But she writes for she has to be brave

She writes about all she gave

She writes about the heart he stole

She writes how she forgave

She writes of dreaming at night

Dreaming of him within her sight

In his army uniform

And the eyes still shinning bright

She writes of wanting him back

With his clothes in the adjoining rack

Wherein they live happily ever after

Leaving behind the devastating tracks

But him being safe , she writes the most

Him returning back to the coast

Him loving her and she loving him

Forever their love for each other to boast

She kisses the letter a goodbye

She holds her head high

She is an officers love afterall

She posts the letter without a cry

She prays it reaches within his hands

Pictures him with the letter beneath the bus stand

Coming home coming back to the shore

Him returning to his land.
