WORDS OF A DYING SOLDIER

In the calmness. In the stillness. In the silence I awake,

Waiting in great patience for the egg of dawn to break.
I look at your photos,
I feel my heart lighten up.
A many a time, I tried to reach for your attention,
But I know you will never feel the same.

When I look at your face,

I notice your crooked smile.
I notice the crinkle near your kind eyes,
But you will never look at me the same.

When I look at you, I see my whole world.

My stomach brims with an infinity of storms.
But I will never be your world.

To you I`m just a friend,

Nothing more, nothing less.
I`ll settle for what you have already decided.
Because I don`t want to make a mess.
Instead, let me take my pride back off the shelf.

I always get anxious whenever I try to approach you,

My heart starts to race, my palms start to sweat,
My legs start to tremble and I never truly make it.
Fate has decided that I am better off admiring from afar.

Until one day you will finally see

That you and I were meant to be.

 WORDS OF A DYING SOLDIER
I`ll wait for now but not too long
Because sooner or later I`ll be gone.
