Blood I'm Trained To Spill

by Broken   Sep 17, 2004


*OK, my boyfriend wrote this poem to me and I really like it so I wanted to share it with you. Enjoy.

I'm not lonely because I have you
But you're so far away
No matter what it is I'm doing
I think of you all day

My M16 gives me comfort
Thats why it bares your name
Its long, dark, and beautiful
But when held, it's not the same

Blood, red blood I'm trained to spill
Upon the tall green grass
But so unlike my love for you
All this too shall pass

I hear your voice as I drift
Deep into the night
Thats what keeps my spirit proud
As I'm trained to fight

So wait for me, please wait
Just one more day
Because I'll try to get to you
Until I'm old and gray

*tell me what you think!!

    That is terribly sweet, albeit unique in comparison. But I must admit, strangely compelling.

    Considering the world as it is, my deepest hope and (if you don't mind my saying) prayer is that you are both able to share your love together (in person) without interference.

    And Kelly... very cool all around.
