I will come back to you

She loved him
So much
He held her heart and soul

She knew she could lose him
She took the chance
She loved him

He was a soldier
Defending his country was the most important thing
His heart belonged to the military

She wrapped her arms around him
Holding him as tight as she could
And for as long as she could

He held her
Hoping she would understand
He had to go

She watched him walk away from her
He stood tall and proud
His head was held high

Tears streamed from her eyes
As he walked proudly
He stopped

And for a moment he stood still
She held her breath
He then looked over his shoulder

And said
"I will come back to you"

Ok please be nice I really wanted to write something like this but it's really really hard to do, no one can really say what a woman feels being in love with a solider. Please give as much positive feedback as possible

Actually, I know exactly what a woman feels loving a soldier and sending into a war. You described it pretty well, you try really hard to be brave and not let him see you cry, and it is hard. My soldier has never come home, he was declared dead but his remains have never been found.
I had to go back and think of when he left, so much ope, so many dreams, and you try to not let him see the fear of losing him in your eyes.
You' ve got the right idea.

I think this is a poem of passion, it is so sad that these soldiers have to put their own lives on hold to fight for our country and some may or may not even make it home, they are all hero's, and there loved ones are just as brave and strong.. Great work :)

Yeah, I sometimes think. What if in the future, I fall in love with a guy who would want to go into the army. I really don't want that to happen. It would be a great deal of pain for me.

I love this! You caught the emotion beautifully. Keep up the good work :)

So sad. This was very well written. It's sad that every year thousands of families lose loved one to this war. Personally I think the war in Iraq is pointless and is hurting too many people.

There's loads of emotion in this.

Wow, this is really sad. It reminds me of my cousin Tony, he is in Afghanistan. I really liked this poem.
