A Military Wifes Nightmares

Trapped in total darkness. The chilling cold rips through my flesh, 
sending painful chills down my spin. My fear Isolates me in this Tomb of loneliness.
Ripping through my heart like a jagged duel bladed sword. My mind tormented
by your absence. I just can't seem to awaken from this nightmare.
When I open my eyes will you be home? Will this War ever end? 
This is my living hell! Life without you. An unsympathizing torchure that haunts
me day in and day out. Until you are back safely in my arms. How cruel
the mind can be. What if? Is he Okay. Lord save me from the demons that taunt 
my dreams. Bring my love back home to me.

Your sense of longing is well conveyed, Christie. My heart goes out to you and all of the military wives who wonder, "Will this war ever end?" I pray he comes home to you safely; I'm sure he shares your loneliness. Bless you, Carolyn
