The Soldier's Wife
THE SOLDIER'S WIFE
Love
Lies bleeding
On the snow
Message from a guy
You know
You played with
His heart and head
It's all your fault
the life you've led
i loved him too
but he chose you
i hate you for
what he went through
Wounded soldier back from war
As he entered
his own door
Heard sex crooning ---grunts of man
Turned his back—away he ran
Put a bullet in his head
Now you cry that he is dead
stop your tears -- can't be undone
hope your peace -- forever gone
what made you treat
A good man so
Love lies
Bleeding
on the
Snow
