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"

Author's Note

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.

This was such a moving poem. I thought that the situation that you described is unfortunately a very real and very relevant situation to today, which made your poem all the more heartbreaking to read. I liked the fact that your poem was written about the woman, as opposed to the soldier himself, as I thought that this really emphasised the true emotion of the situation. Nice work,
