christina merritt Biography

I started writing poems when i was sixteen, right after my grandfather died. I then quickly decided that this is what i wanted to do with my life. I have always been pushed to do better than my best in life, and i have always strived to achieve this. My poetry may not be the best but it comes from the heart. Each poem i write has a story and reason behind why it was written. I may not be famous but i dont write to get famous. i write as a way of expression.)

The Best Poem Of christina merritt

My Marine

i stood here the day you said goodbye

and watched you get on a plane

and said i would always be by your side

that i would always love you and care for you

but two years later it was different

i didnt understand why it had to be so hard

to love a marine

you didnt come home though i waited

i sat and watched for you to show

i didnt feel your heart beat

i couldnt see your smile

so i waited for just a little while

until a letter was delivered and put in my hands

i sat upon the bench and read very slowly

of the demise of my love and my marine

they said it was friendly fire

that it was just a simple mistake

that he was a hero for petes sake

but how do they tell of a mistake

to a woman in love with a marine

he was my world he was my marine

he always said he would return

well the coffin is here and his wake begins

and everybody says how sorry they truelly are

but they dont understand how i sit by yourside

but i never cried not even a single tear

i sat there letting the numbness settle in

because he did what he had to do

he did what he knew was right

this i truelly know

because he were a soldier

he was a marine

it comes with the territory

it comes with fallin in love with a marine

i miss him terribly i hate to say it is so

but my love for him is true and till the end

because i wouldnt trade the years with him

for a lifetime with someone else

because he was my universe.

he was the sun and my life revolved around his

because he was my marine

as the people leave i see his face once again

in my dreams he will forever stay

because he was the only marine in my life

he was and always will be my marine

you were and always will be my marine
