Until The Sun Goes Down Poem by Melissa Stevens

One day you have me, but only that one day
Until the sun goes down
Then I must leave
But now the time we had
To make every moment adventurous and passionate as two love birds
Singing a love song, a soft, unforgettable note
I love seeing you, it makes my day whole lot brighter
Then going out to fight for our country
Seeing dead bodies all around me, pain that I can never escape from
War and love are two different things, doesn't go together
Like you and me
Making our relationship to work out for the both of us
But just until the sun goes down
I love you more than anything but it's my job to fight for this country

Must pay the price, without having a recipient
To return it back, the pain and sorrow
That I cause you, knowing what's the cost is
Trying to get through our days without feeling pain and sorrow
But how can that me when I killing people all day
Soldiers that I shot, probably have families or at least want to start one
How can that work, to start a family and rising them without a father
To look after and teach them how to do things
While you tuck them to bed, waking them up with a breakfast in bed when they are sick

Down to last hope, this is it
The sun is going down and I must go
I don't think I will ever make it back, just look after our child
And remember that I fought for this country, freedom and rights
Every time I wake up, seeing two birds flying right next to their side
If I was a bird, I'll sing you a love lullaby until the sun goes down
When my time comes, I'll see you in heaven when your time is up
Rest in peace
