Shattered Lungs Cry ~ Faith's Book of Poems

I've been dead beforeNot once
Not twice
Three times have I stopped breathing
Let alone with no comfort
Let alone with no love
Let alone to bleed out till death do I part
And no one cares how many times
I've taken that cursed wooden stake
To heart ♥

Home Coming

You kiss him good bye
He's off to war
The next day kids ask
"When's daddy coming home?"
A tear slips from your eyes as you say

"He's here
Right here
All around us
In our hearts
Nothing in the world
Nothing in the sky
Can keep us apart
Stay strong
It wont be long
Because he's here"

Four years go by
Kids grow up
Daddy's still gone
But they don't ask anymore
Still you wait
Still you pray
Every night you say

"He's here
Right here
All around us
In our hearts
Nothing in the world
Nothing in the sky
Can keep us apart
Stay strong
It wont be long
Because he's here"

Two more years go bye
The letter comes
You don't know why
He's been captured by them
You feel something break
A lost hope
Asleep not awake
But your heart knows...

"He's here
Right here
All around us
In our hearts
Nothing in the world
Nothing in the sky
Can keep us apart
Stay strong
It wont be long
Because he's here"

And nothing in the world can keep you apart
Love triumphs right from the start
He'll be back one day
As long as you pray
Just think of the time you'll share...
Because he's still here...

Sixteen more years, you're getting old
Ready to give up
Ready to give in
A car pulls in the drive way
As you're on your front lawn
Out steps a man you know

He's still here
He's now home
The best home coming
Love has won
Gone with the past
Now with the present
The present of love
For all to be free...

He's still here
He's still here
He's still...
