THE MAN THAT RUNS AWAY...

THE MAN THAT RUNS AWAY...

A Poem by AlieahRose

HE WANTS SO BAD FOR US TO WORK OUT...

YET HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH HIMSELF...

"I LOVE YOU..."

HE SAYS WITH A TREMBLING TEARY VOICE...

I AM SOLID LIKE THE MILITARY DRILL SARGENT THAT...

HAS BEEN TRAINED TO NOT HAVE FEELINGS...

HE IS THE WIFE THAT CRIES AS HER BELOVED MUST RISK HIS LIFE...

MY SWEETHEART WE HAVE SWITCHED PLACES...

AND I MUST DIE ON THINE...

HE THEN TURNS INTO THAT SARGENT...

AND THEN I AM THAT WIFE...

WE BEGIN TO MAKE LOVE BEFORE WE DEPART...

AND THE TEARS FLOW WHILE WE KISS THE FINAL KISS...

MY HEART IS RACING...

I CAN FEEL YOUR SPIRIT LOOSING IT'S PERSONALITY...

INSTEAD OF STAYING WITH ME...

YOU MUST GO...

SO NOW WE WALK TO THE DEPARTURING LOCATION...

"I LOVE YOU TOO..."

I FINALLY SAY...

BUT...

I AM BREAKING WITH EVERY WORD...

I KNOW YOU ARE STRONG...

YOU WILL NEVER BE...

THE MAN THAT GIVES UP...

AND I KNOW...

YOU ARE NOT...

THE MAN THAT RUNS AWAY...

Its always painful to let you loved one go. Spectacular piece. I liked the part best where his voice is full of pain. Good job...

That took a nice turn there. The first few lines I was expecting something completely different. This is very good and a very heartbreaking reality for the military couple.
