The Camouflage

The Camouflage
is my allegience pledged to the flag.

It is my loyalty to my country.
It is my duty to dedicated and proficient
in my tasks to maintaining world's peace.

The Camouflage is my respect
to our daily lives and the diverse cultures
amongst which we find ourselves.
It is my selfless service to always place
the mission first.

The Camouflage is my honor
to all of our fallen comrades.
It is my integrity to you and me.

The Camouflage is my personal courage
which enables me to move without fear, 
because I'm the obstacle against
every weapon and threats formed against us.

The camouflage is my life, because
I am An American Soldier....

Always & Forever (Obsession)

I can't stand the sight 
of watching you leave.
Without you in my life, 
air is hard to breathe.

I can't stand the feeling 
of life in your absence.
Being away from you 
ostracises my presence,
in this world, 
I have no essence, and
life just suddenly doesn't make sense.

You mean so much to me.
Since you walked into my life,
my hunger for love has been filled,
my thurst for tenderness & trust 
has been quenched, and  
life is suddenly not the same.

Lets love each other the best way we know how,
expressing our love, 
not being ashamed of one another,
walking the globe head bow.

Lets Stay together through thick & thin,
ups & downs, 
smiles & frowns,
Always & Forever, because 
this isn't just love,
its an Obsession.

I Thought About It

i always think about you
and the things you do
i met you with my mind made up, because
i thought about it

i thought about it,
the way you smile,
your share in my dreams
and the way you pushed me to the extreme

i thought about you and me
and the joy that it might bring
just to hear the sound of your name
i thought abut it, so think about it.

Loneliness

Looking back
At all the pasts and cries
I've had,
I realize that,
I have to move on
To a place where happiness
Is not sad,
A place where tears doesn't       
Express pain, but joy,
A place where truth doesn't lie.

Life isn't worth living when 
Loneliness is all you have, and
nobody,  but nobody is by your side.

You've got everything, but
your heart has not a home,
your soul has not a place,
your  voice has no tone, and       
when you cry,  nobody and nobody,
but only you hear yourself inside.
You have no mind peace,  because
You lack the vital piece 
That makes your world complete.

Life isn't worth living when
Loneliness is all you have,  and
Nobody, but nobody is by your side.

I don't know  what to do, 
Confused, because 
I don't know how
To make my heart
Sing the blues, 
Bringing back to me,
You, my melody so true.
The days seem so long and cold.
My nights are so empty and old,
Because loneliness 
Is the only word my heart is told,
The only feeling my body knows.

Life isn't worth living,
Because I can't make it out here alone.
Loneliness is all I have, and
Nobody, but nobody is by my side.
