I needed her when I got back from Fallujah
Over taken by the lack of her presence
Emotions reset to loneliness
A look in the mirror says I need to pull it together
However thoughts of her keep me in this state of mind
Unreal is the way she looked away
I faded away
Retreating back to that chapel in Al Fallujah
Dear GOD please bring us back together
The only place of peace in this moment
GOD
My heart rate slows
My breathing slows down
Body temperature lowers
I’m relaxed in this small Chapel alone
Just me and GOD
Privacy at last
I lock the door
Without distraction in perfect quiet
I tell GOD what’s on my Hearts mind
He had all of time to listen
Not rushed for time he told my soul
I’m here
Dear GOD I Love this women with all my heart
Dear GOD please let it be your will
For her and I to be one
A prayer is made, a plea is begged
Affirmation in his word
Repetition in my patience to wait for her
Association with Hope and Faith for Love and truth to prevail
I need her and her Love
Images of a white wedding,
Of her in my life forever
My feelings will always be of her
The observation of others is
A waste of my time, they say
Yet still I retreat to the only place
On a roof
In a chapel
In Iraq
War, combat…..Love… Her lack of Love
I’m truly broken inside
My Heart will remain broken until her return, my true Love
Still in a place between that roof and chapel in
Al Fallujah Iraq
