"I don't want to get married " he said
A sweet, dismal face she made.

She wanted a sweet, subtle life,
Whereas he was responsible for keeping hopes alive.

At the wedding day she was so happy all along,
A deep fear was all he could adorn.

"Never leave my side" she exclaimed,
Well he could do nothing but be pained .

Soon came the war ravaging through all the terrain,
Time had come for him to leave without refrain...

She started to cry as he went,
While he could still smell her pleasant scent.

A war torn area it was,
With everything but a silent pause.
But everyone who had to be there were with a cause.

She would wait for that single phone call,
He too wanted to be with her as he couldn't take it all..

She would constantly be  jerked by sleepless nights ,
They were indeed two beautiful birds flying high and treading through a sky so peaceful and so bright.

Finally a letter he had received ,
Not only her emotions but her whole body he conceived...

Soon the guns blazed and corpses were laid,
While taking his last breath he felt indebted
For loving her so much now he regretted.

He didn't know whether his apology will be accepted,
It was on his coffin where her Life's reason and Happiness faded.....
