Darling Fight Bravely Poem by Mary Murphy

Life is short.
This is true,
But it seems so slow
When without you.

I miss your warmth
As these weeks grow cold,
Just filling in time,
But the T.V is growing old,

You take your bags,
I wish you could stay,
I start to cry
As you walk away.

You wipe your eyes,
And don’t think I see,
That you wish too,
To stay with me.

But the war is waiting,
It’s now your time,
And I’ll be praying my heart out,
As you’re fighting crime.

It’s just so hard
To watch you leave,
With my torn heart,
And tear drenched sleeve.

My makeup is smeared,
My eyes are black,
I cry and cry,
Because you haven’t come back.

You’d think your job was harder,
Yes you will actually fight,
But there is no greater pain
Than of loosing you tonight.

Though summer comes,
I still shiver inside,
Nothing feels colder
Than those tears I cried.

Still stained to my cheek,
And locked in my heart,
Only you can melt
My tears apart.

I long to see you,
I dream of that day,
I’ve never missed someone,
In such a deep way.

Darling fight bravely,
Be strong through the night,
I’ll be here waiting,
I’ll pray you’re alright.
