War-Torn Sole Part 1

OUTSIDE THE WAR TORN WALLS LAYS A TENT SILENT WERE MANY MEN REPENT. SO MANY DAYS I’VE SPENT NURSING MEN THROUGH THIS BLOODY HAYES, BUT NEVER HAD I MET A MAN WHO TOUCHED ME AS HE DID AS DEATH DELAYS. A COUNTRY BETRAYED! I KNEW HE WAS DYING BUT HIS HEART STILL KEPT TRYING. HE CALLED ME OVER TO HOLD HIS HAND, THAT’S WHEN I NOTICED THE WEDDING BAND. “SHE’S MY LIFE, THE STARS I SEE, THE AIR I BREATHE, MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE. NEVER HAVE I MET A WOMAN SO TRUE. EYES OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR BLUE. I NEVER KNEW THIS PLACE COULD ERASE SO MANY LIVES WITHOUT A TRACE. IF I HAD ONLY LISTEN TO HER, FOR THE LOVE OF GRACE, TELLING ME HOW MUCH SHE LOVED ME SO. SO WE WED NOT TO BE SEPERATED. IT WAS AROUND THAT TIME I WAS RELOCTED. WE FOUGHT WHEN I LEFT THAT DAY. I SAID SOME THINGS I NEVER MEANT TO SAY. I SHOULD HAVE NEVER LEFT THAT WAY. SHE WROTE ME LAST MAY TO TELL ME I HAD A SON WAITING ON ME. SHE SAY’S HE LOOKS JUST LIKE ME.” TEARS BEGAN TO DWELL IN MY EYES. THIS IS HOW TRUE LOVE DIES.
