Only Memories Of You Poem by sandy nobody

im coming back, you did say
keep you safe i would pray

i watched you walk out the door
you marching off to fight a war

as you turned away, i felt a burn
in my heart i knew you would not return

everyday i would sit and wait
watching for you to walk through the gate

one day a car pulled up
2 soldiers got out and walked up

no spoken words did i hear
my mind was racing with my deepest fear

you would never return home
inside my heart i never felt so alone

they offered their deepest sympathies
now all ive left of you are distant memories

memories of which shall never part
memories living deep inside my heart
