Chapter 29: Loving you in times of war

Poems 2Words: 481

Two soldiers

Middle of the war

One wounded bleeding out

Bullets flying

A church a temporary haven

One an atheist

Let down by the world and everyone

One too many times

The other brought up christian

Now battle-changed

And strayed from faith

One says to the other

Lets get married

Against all odds

Two male soldiers

A superior and a subordinate

In an abandoned church

On the outskirts of a war-torn town

Promise themselves to each other

Sooner rather than later

Till death do us part
