Army Bound

Army Bound

A Poem by ComfortableLiar
"

Ex boyfriend joined the army

"

You have no outs and you have no hope

So you made up your mind you're leaving

to fight in a war you don't believe in

Started by a man you hate

all because you think you're out of options

 

You said you love me and that I'm your world

but still against my wishes and in front of my eyes

you enlisted, destroyed our bond

I told you I'd leave but you didn't believe

I will not sit and wait through the agony of anticipation

 

You said we should get married now that you're leaving

You said you wanted a child now that you won't be around

So I left you like I always said I would

And I'm heartbroken because the one person I've cared about in so long

saw fit to leave me without so much as a second thought

 

Every day spent away from you strenthens me

The tears freeze dried to my face, the pillows stained with disgrace

I had hoped I'd never be this weak again

I'm afraid that the moment I see you I'll fall back in and give

That I'll agree to disagree like always before

 

I love you so dearly but my faith in you is gone

This is not the way I saw it ending although I knew it would eventually

My selfinshness overcomes I need you here with me

But as it stands you're already gone although so near

I'll pray for you and hope I don't forget your face

 

I love you... Goodbye.
