The Letter

My Dearest Amelia

 

In a time of war,

You filled a heart that was sore.

Bleeding within my soul,

Yet you mended and made me whole.

 

How much I love you so,

My heart will never let go.

Precious moments together,

Will live in my heart forever.

 

From my untimely departure,

My dreams fill with torture.

Weeping as sadness nears,

Battered and lost in my tears.

 

Till we meet once more,

And walk hand in hand on the shore.

You are my world, my heart,

Nothing will ever, tear us apart.

 

I am you,

As you are me,

Together, forever,

Is all I want us to be.

Nice. These two lines say it all.

Weeping as sadness nears,
Battered and lost in my tears.

My ex-fiancee was sent to Iraq, and he came back, although not as the same person who went over there. I used to pick his brain for insight of what he was thinking and feeling while he walked those sands. I know he was terribly homesick and missed the things he loved, longed to be back here for things as simple as a sunset. I think that you captured that longing feeling, of wanting what you cannot have yet, and of not knowing if you'll ever see it, hear it, feel it, again. I read the story that inspired this, too, and think that this was a wonderful follow-up to that. He made it back alive, but a vital part of his soul did not, and I pray daily for his return to wholeness, much as the narrator of this poem prays for reunion on that distant shore, when the lover did not return in body. Thank you for the request, this was beautifully penned.

D-day? I was thinking how lucky your wife or girlfriend is for her to have inspired you to write this. It's very beautiful and touching. Wish MY man could write me something like this!
