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.
