After Dark

After dark I sit. Quietly waiting for you, To come back safely. It has been six months. I can't get you off my mind. You are my one love. You are my soldier. You fight for me and my country. You have a pure soul. Though you save many, You also are a killer. A harsh murderer. I wish it was easy. To see it as a duty. And not as your choice. Now, it's after dark. All I can see is that blood. Spread across the field. All those poor souls dead. They were such innocent ones. No reason to die.
