Goodbye, my soldier

40 9 25
                                    


A tear fell
A single tear
From her hooded eyes
From her wet lashes

Her lifts lifted
In a brief smile
Small and Painful
But it went unseen

She breathed
A whisper so soft
Words of goodbye
That went unheard

She turned
Her heart heavy
With sorrow
And confessions unspoken

She looked ahead
Seeing months of waiting
For her love, her soldier
To come home.

I was feeling a little patriotic given that today is Republic day. And then, this old piece of writing came to my mind and I thought that today would be the perfect day to post it...

This is dedicated to all those people who leave their homes so that we can be safe and all those families who bear that separation.
