war on us

you're leaving again
but farther away this time
the distance will expand
until i won't even know you anymore

it's hard not seeing you
impossible living without you
this distance kills
time does its own damage

will time attack your memories
will it take you further from me
make you forget i'm still here
stationed, waiting for you

when will time stop
when will distance disappear
letting us see eachother
and remember

we could lose this battle
and be taken prisoner by the enemy
we might die in this fight
and never achieve the victory we seek

the tides of war could turn
our allies prove a challenge
will the weapons we have
deflect the enemy from our back

creeping silently
intent on ambush
the element of surprise
could be their advantage

they have yet to see
the greatest weapon of our force
what we have together
cannot be torn apart

*i think this deserves a small explaination. though it
appears to follow in order of my last few entries, the
fact is i wrote this about a month ago after bradley told
me he planned on enlisting for four years. i was so upset
i cried on the phone. when i went to look for my poem
about rain i saw this one and decided to put it in here
too. i realize it is overly dramatic, which in this
instance didn't do much justice, but the only excuse i can
give is that i was very upset when i wrote this.
