The Steep Price
by jlsavell

I was so young In high school still I caught his glance He took my will A smile so bright A laugh so sweet Those dark brown eyes Swept off my feet He loved me so He used to say I was his life He's here to stay So our school closed Hot days were bliss We danced till dark and then we'd kiss I felt his love He filled my heart With so much warmth But soon we'd part He came one day with eyes so stern He had some news My heart would burn He's now a man A man he'll be There is this war A year, you'll see I love you so He used to say I was his life He's here to stay So like a man He marched so proud and went to war I cried so loud The days did pass I missed him so Sent notes of love and did I know He was a man I was his life He loved me so Please be my wife My heart was glad and so I planned the day we'd wed A time so grand He soon came home but not the same His eyes were blank So gaunt his frame His smile was not His man hands shook and tears that spilled Pure fright, his look Still like a man he walked so proud but pills he took to chase the cloud The cloud of pain that cloaked his soul with blood that spilled from war's hell hole So now this man who loved me so lives in the past and can't let go Boy went to war He marched with pride He loved me so though his heart's died |

Writing Prompt Sadness has overcome us all at one time or another. Either caused by a relative or close friend's death or from the girl or guy that broke our heart or just life in general. We all handle situations differently, some good, some bad. This contest gives us the ability to explore this. Your poem can also play into other emotions that are common to writing like this such as anger or depression. |
