Soldier

by Milena - Not entered

I miss you, soldier
You know, it's so empty here without you
I care about you, soldier
I try to live it through
I think about you, soldier
Looking forward till we meet again
I love you, soldier
But destiny took you away from me
A cold, heartless war without meaning,
without an aim or a clue
People die, side by side
giving their lives - for what??
And the ones who are left behind - 
what is really left for them??
They have lost the meaning of life,
it dies in a rain of bullets on just 
another ordinary day
The words left can't take the pain away, 
the excuses make you angry!
I really did care, soldier
I just wish others cared just as much...

Reason for writing:

    The Vietnam-war
