Stranded

Just something I wrote for English class, kinda changed as I wrote, hope you enjoy!

If I follow you to the end of the Earth,

Would you turn around?

If I stay with you till time does stop

Would we make a sound?

If I jump just say how high

I crave to make you proud.

When we spend our life together

It’s like we’re in a cloud.

 

When I see you, don’t walk on by

Stop to say a word. 

Well I call and you don’t answer

My life remains unheard.

If the stars come out at night

It doesn’t matter to me.

As a brave man once said

Let it be, let it be.

 

Treat me harshly if you must

You may be filled with greed.

Your desires not just, nor lawfully good

Just a smouldering plead.

I want to help you, show you the way

Please just let me in.

But the day goes on, rain falls down,

My lust just turns to sin.

 

I understand we live different lives

Yours so filled with joy. 

Mine was empty, no love for me,

So I did deploy.

War is hell, I’m afraid everyday

My unit was just sent out.

My chances of ever seeing you again

Well, I’m beginning to doubt.

 

This will be my last poem to you

My last plea of hope.

I don’t intend to make you cry,

Please don’t go and mope.

Have fun, be merry, live life to the best.

Get engaged, have kids, please just don’t distress.

My life, not yours, was lost at war,

Just know you’re the only one I adore.
