Larry and Me

I met Larry by surprise 
He became my constant sunrise

  We were each other's everything
Next thing I know he gave me a ring 

   Me and Larry married really fast
I was confident that our love would last 

Then one day he got a letter in the mail 
He had to go fight in a war or go to jail

The day he left,I learned I was with child
Thoughts of him getting hurt were running wild

By the time he returned I had our baby girl
When he held her, he gave her twirl

        My love had come back to me
              I was happy with glee

  But you see my Larry wasn't the same
  I first noticed it when he said my name 

    I got my love back, just too loose him
Us having our happily ever after looks grim

Paul Callus Date: 7/29/2016 3:37:00 PM From low to high to low....a rollercoaster of mixed emotions. Was it the negative effects of war...was it something else? // paul Login to Reply

Phillip Garcia Date: 7/29/2016 12:12:00 PM Wonderful poem. Im glad it's fiction (sadly, though, it was probably true for several back in the day and might be true for more in the future if we don't stop picking fights with the rest of the world ) Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 7/28/2016 9:08:00 PM I liked the way you did this. It shows great imagination to show the loss is a different kind. You lost the SOUL of him. My mother faced the same thing when my dad came back from Korea shizophrenic. She says he was a changed man and she could not stay with him after that. Login to Reply
