'I don't want this life anymore'
A thought she often thought
Left behind, feeling hopeless
Love was easy
Holding onto feeling forgotten
Made even easier
The ache in her heart
The heaviness in her head
As every day began a battle
she fought to keep moving forward,
Knowing that it wasn't forever
The leaving of a lover,
The wait of their return
Over and over,
And repeated again
The life of a Sailor's wife
More glorified than treasured
