What They Wanted

With every breath taken,
A new life enters the world,
With every fallen soldier,
Leaves a broken-hearted girl.

She would've waited forever,
Waited until you return,
But God let her down,
Now she's feeling the undesired burn.

He was all she wanted,
She was all he cared for,
He wanted to be free,
But she wanted more.

He wanted to be free,
He wanted to know what she was all about,
But his world was upside down,
His life was inside out.

He was lost in battle,
His world surrounded by hate,
He missed her so,
But death was his fate.

She wanted him to come home,
She wanted him to stay,
She wanted him so badly,
She wanted him everyday.

She slowly turned away,
Slowly resisting the pain,
Releasing herself,
Escaping from the chains.

But when she got out,
She turned and found,
That there was someone else,
Someone who was waiting around.

They both never got what they wanted,
Both of their dreams were gone,
She lost him to something,
He lost her to someone......
