How Do I Do This Alone? Poem by KitKat Smithh

The light is fading.
Im slipping away,
to a place of secrets.
Words I cannot say.
Choices are here
and Im stuck in a hard place.
I keep on seeing
those recent tears on your face.
My heart has broken.
My hands have let go.
Im left for dead.
Where I am, I dont know.
Ive come to black
and the walls have gone.
I shouldve known it would hurt.
And hurt this badly all along.
Please forgive me
for being so rude.
But youre in Iraq,
what else shouls I do?
Ive cried enough tears,
and Ive learned what it takes.
And so youre my soldier,
so there is no room for mistakes.
