Two Souls Apart Poem by Philip Lore

My heart is filled with sadness,
Our souls so far apart,
I miss your touch,
I miss your smile,
From the day we had to part.

I wish I could lay upon your breast,
And listen to your beating heart,
There is no way,
I could be there today,
Its sad we had to part.

To watch you sleep, while in my arms,
Your body warm, your tender charms.
You make my life much brighter,
You make my struggle lighter.

To share a kiss,
Walk hand in hand,
I'm fighting here today.
I promise you that I'll be home,
In a year, when I leave this war torn land.

I wish that I was there,
I wish that I was home,
Wish I didn't have to leave,
No calling on the phone.

My days are filled with terror,
My eyes blink at the sun,
My days are filled with rifle shots,
The fight has just begun.

So when my tour is over,
And we will never part,
I promise you....I'll never leave,
From the bottom of my heart.
