The War Wife

They said that it would never come, This war of hate, and not for some. A sleepy hamlet, far from all, But now it’s happened, god helps us all. It’s not a year since they were wed, But now he’s gone, she hopes not dead. They are in love, for his touch she yearns, A tight embrace, the longing burns. The closeness only they can share, You can see the magic in the air. A knock then comes upon the door, As her mind’s brought back to this wretched war. Her heart now breaking, and is hoping no – She had pleaded with him not to go. Is that all to this that makes up life? When all she wanted was to be his wife.
