a tear runs down my love's cheek what pains your heart, please tell? tho I've been gone a long time I pledge to listen well it's you I put before me no one will take your place a tear runs down my love's cheek no smile upon your face? a tear runs down my cheek, dear and drops onto the floor where we once stood in fond embrace before you went to war it seems a harsh betrayal 'cause another's love I've found these tears run down my cheek, dear to another, I'm now bound a tear ran down my love's cheek that day I went to war for years I fought the battles fierce 'til I could fight no more my thoughts of you betrayed them my pals upon the line the tear that ran down your cheek, love my honor it did blind a tear ran down my cheek each day a vision I would find of you fighting that damn cruel war as sadly I fought mine but battles on the home front are never always won while tears ran down my lonely cheeks like bullets from your gun yes tears are like those bullets, dear they ripped our souls apart we bled not having note or word to mend these aching hearts so back to comrades I will go and pray it's not too late like that tear that runs down your cheek love I run to meet my fate [This message has been edited by Packratmike (edited 06-01-2001).] |

A wonderful story. War does all sorts of crimes, it's not all the bloodshed. Joyce |

A sad and painful story, but very well told. Betty Lou Hebert |

I really like how this read like dialogue, yet flowed as poetry. Sad, but very good. One's not half two it's two are halves of one EE Cummings |

Thank you all, I'm glad you enjoyed this one. I actually wrote the first line to this one months ago and could never seem to get it to go anywhere. Then, a few days back I opened my scrap folder and read the line again and it took off for me. Never throw away those little phrases you have trouble with...eventually they'll work for you.*S* Mike "HEY, DON'T THROW THAT AWAY, I MIGHT NEED IT SOMEDAY!!!" Packratmike |

Good story. Battles with guns- battles with the heart- they're both tough. Melton |
