One phone call

One phone call
Just a few words
Replaying in my head
Like a dreaded curse

I still will not believe it
I force myself not to
It must be a nightmare
All my fears coming true

Do not worry baby
It will not be long
I promise I will be right back
Do not give up, stay strong

How could you?
Life overseas
The dreaded war
I begged you please

Waiting for you to come home
Like a time bomb about to blow
But you never coming home
Is like the bomb killing us both

For you took a part of me when you left
And I will never get it back
As I lay here and cry
You next to me is what I lack

Tearing up the pictures
That once hung up on the wall
Now slowly burning in the fire
As my tears begins to fall

No more future
No more past
For life is too hard
So make every moment last
