The Soldiers Wife

I came back to tell you I love you so I was appalled. Is it mine, this baby? You broke my heart you said who knows? Maybe How could you treat me thus? I’ll never know. I had no choice. You were at war, away You could be killed and might not come again If you do, Only God knows if and when I was so alone and yes I did stray I could not help myself. I needed you I could not bear it. I was so lonely But you, I really I loved so truly Despite my stray Oh God and I still do You see I knew an awful lot of chaps Without you I had to find some comfort One of them, Oh dear he was so expert You ask me is this baby yours? Perhaps Just a sequence, another one nightstand Can you forgive me please? I could have lied To be true to you well I really tried I know I’m wrong but can’t you understand I raised my hand to strike, I in distress But no I could not harm you, even you Because I never stopped loving you And why should I kill? The child is guiltless You had no choice. I was at war, away I could be killed and might not come again If I did, Only God knows if and when You were so alone and yes you did stray. I shall forgive, not as as cold as ice You say it might be mine but are you wrong? I want to trust you well but is it on? So many men, you’ve strayed not once but twice.
