Smiles faded
Dreams in shambles
On and on that poetic heart rambles
Weary eyes are sick of sorrow
Maybe, just maybe the sun will shine tomorrow
So many have turned their backs
In search of the sun
She cannot laugh as much
There isn't enough strength in those arms
To hold them up
Apologies just keep growing
But deaf ears do not want to hear
Fine! Go ahead, walk away
Feet of lead march on everyday
The roads grow rougher
Eventually it will smooth over
Twinkling eyes cloud with tears
Strong shoulders are ready to crumble
An empty hole replaces a heart
For it sprouted wings and was presented with a halo
Tears have been the most recent visitor
If only someone would understand
She wouldn't be sitting here alone
If only God could've let him be...
To hear the words “It was just a dream”
She would give her last breath.
Love has died
It's just a thing of the past
If not there would be no war
She screams his name in the empty darkness
He cannot reply,
Over and over she falls
But his arms cannot reach
Why?
He retired his gun
Put away dirty combat boots
And traded a worn out uniform
For a pair of wings
All to keep us free
She calls his name
The only answer is the wind
Love has died...
