Cause and Affect


A Poem by Brette Medb
"
Something that's been stressing me out lately...I joined the military with little to no concern for my life and I don't fear being deployed but by me staying here and him being sent away, that is what I have discovered I fear the most.
"

This world dare threatens to take you away, away from me and all that I hold dear.

Who knew I could ever love this much or care this much for someone other than me.

It is you who I see in my dreams and awake to each morn', it is you that I love.

Tenderly I see into your eyes and I feel this emotion arise within my breast,

One that I have never experienced so profoundly before or ever believed did exist.

When you go, leave and fight for things that are not free where does that leave me?

Alone. Alone in this world with nothing, no one to anchor me.

It is being alone that I have learned to fear the most, something I had never previously cared for.

Alive between you and I is a thing I never thought I would find, something so easily lost,

Love that be gone with one shot, one resound of a single round.

I fear the future without the laughter I have grown so accustomed leaving me

Lost, Alone, and Afraid to go on without you.
