War of Hearts

This is a short love poem about a girl left by her true love who has to go to war.

Love long lost
Taken to the trenches
Buried beneath bodies
Crushed, the broken heart wrenches

Broken hearts hung
From harsh, bitter breaths
The last that would be taken
The introduction of death

Lover sitting alone
At home in the dark
Waiting for the letter
The one to kill the spark

To kill the spark of hope
That love would find its way
To kill that spark of hope
That her love would come back someday
