Letters From Someone You Loved

Dearest love, I hope this message finds you well, I only hope I don't die before I find my way to you in this letter form I must lye. Bombs are my goodnight hug and riffle shot my lullaby; deaths my goodnight kiss and war scenes my dreams high. It's funny how I live in monotony yet they say expect the unsuspected as gun shots whiz by we know, our lives by death have been accepted. Boys cry for mommy as their lives bleed away and it seems the ink I write you in is their blood after each day. My love I hope soon to return to once again be with you my beloved and hope you can still find me as you look in my eyes and recognize me as someone you once loved.
