A letter that changed her.

A poem about an army wife..

The sound of a rumbling engine 

The crackling of leaves along the road 

A man in a suit and tie stood at her door

Her eyes started to water as she felt a pain in her core

Before he could speak she fell to her knees onto the floor

The letter she feared was in his grasp 

He gave her a sincere look and didn't know what to ask

She nodded and told him shed keep in touch

She added his number into her clutch

She tried to keep busy almost all of the time

Every picture she saw she would say, "stay strong" so she wouldn't cry

Numb

Nothing seemed to take away the pain

Tears rolled down her cheeks with a bottle in hand

Anything else she could use would cost her a grand

She tried to work out even ,watch her favorite bands

The only thing she wanted was her man

Aw, sadness. =( War tears so many families apart, either temporarily or permanently. Even when they do come back it doesn't mean they are the same after the things they have witnessed. You captured her pain excellently, and really made me feel for her.
