I spy a beautiful Heart

She’s broken but I can’t look away

She cries her pain out loud

I hear her cry and answer her call

We start to live the Dream

But a lass Karma hits

I have demons of my own

She thinks she hears

She thinks she gets it

She thinks she can take it

How time proves her wrong

How can she

She can never

Not one woman I meet

Will ever get it

It’s impossible

They never had to kill

They never had to carry pieces of their Brothers

They never faced death on the level I had to

I am a Combat Veteran

I don’t pretend for a second

They can ever understand

But I still make the mistake

Of trying

In the end its held against me

In the end I’m the one a lone

Again

Always and forever

Not if my Heart ever had a wish come true

How I wish I could find

A woman stronger than the demons

Is it my fate or my curse

That binds me to my independence

At this point suicide sounds like a sweet delight

Better than a life of solitude

But I refuse to be that stupid

I sometimes feel cursed to live

The life owed to those no longer here

Those I knew in Combat

There is no way to say

To express

The baggage I carry

So in the end

I walk alone

Cursed or not

That’s just my fate…
