War Story
I feel the way I do 
 When I'm with you. 
 Nothing else matters 
 I try to sleep at night 
 but all I can think of 
 is you being in that fight 
 I long for your embrace 
 As I try to picture your face 
 But all I can see is empty space 
 I long for you 
 your scent 
 your charm 
 your smile 
 and your arms, 
 Why did they take you from me 
 They say it's what's right 
 They told me not to fight 
 But how can I help it 
 When all I can see is you in a helmet 
 Thousands of miles away 
 Trudging through that dark gray ash 
 with a sash 
 across your chest 
 I know its what's best 
 you say it's the only way to protect me 
 and that you have to save the rest 
 But how can you save all of them 
 when you cant even save your own head 
 They called me in 
 I saw your tag 
 and your bag 
 I had to identify 
 I couldnt even stand the site 
 they told me I had to try 
 They lifted the sheet 
 It was you 
 All I saw was your spine 
 to your feet 
 I said it was you 
 and left the room 
 how could it be 
 one day your right in front of me 
 saying you'd be back soon 
 i didnt know that was the last time I'd see your face 
 Now your being carried away 
 I watched as they placed you inside the cold hard ground 
 it wasnt your time 
 but just know you will forever be mine
