[bodytext] => Blisters on my fingers emerge
Yet I continue writing letters Perhaps you will return And if the war has not devoured you And the audacity and nightmares Have not consumed your soul Then perhaps my message will seep into your spirit And warm your aching heart Letters written with hope Let your aura daunt me Let our whispers haunt me As tears fall upon the page And mix with ink The words entwine with what I feel I can no longer conceal The way it burns inside The way of the war Man against man And remnants of destruction And somewhere amidst the ruins You stand; In the smoke and stare at the ungodly silence And as the shadow of death sweeps over the city Hoping you don’t have to burn down another house Think of me.... Think of me and of your unborn child And my letters Let that innocent man be... To remain in the arms of his loved one For I long to have you here In these arms of mine To cloak you with my warmth, Waiting for the end of this era, Waiting for you to come home, I love you darling, Yours forever.
