The Soldier

Lonely hearts, so far away

Growing distant everyday.

My heart still holds onto loves hope;

With worrisome thoughts, love feels revoked.

As I read the thoughts you've felt for me;

My heart grows sad and tears spring free.

Glistening tears stream down my face;

As I remember your love, it can't be erased.

My heart cries out, do you still love me;

How can I know, how can I see?

Faith, that is all that is left to hold onto;

Love, that is all that I can feel for you.

It's been so long since I've heard your voice;

Or gotten letters, is this by your choice?

It's like your a ghost that has just vanished;

It feels as though my love you have banished.

Tear kissed pillows is where my head rests;

I cry myself to sleep; with you I was blessed.

Come back to me...come back to my heart;

Will you return or will we remain apart?

Missing you more with each passing day;

Where has your love gone, where does your heart lay?

I woke up last night, and thought I felt you here;

It must have been a dream for you are no where near.

I close my eyes and I hear your voice; I see your sweet face;

I see your loving eyes and feel your strong embrace.

I am still here, waiting, loving you;

Hoping that your love is still true.

Has your heart grown far and forgotten my love;

Days pass slowly with no sign from above.

You have forgotten me, though why would you remember;

The last time we spoke was back in September.

My heart hurts, throbbing with sadness;

Speak to me and my soul will feel gladness.

Forever you remain in my thoughts and soul;

You're the only one to fill this bleak dismal hole.

My heart grows dark with worry and fear;

That you don't love and you'll never be near.

Tell me my love what do you feel;

Make it known, the truth please reveal.

Sorrow lingers by clouding my view;

The world has turned gray, all I see is you.

Peace will be felt soon, tell me it's true;

Stop this aching heart from coming unglued.
