Across the Seas

Letters, endless letters,
Written with him in mind.
Her pen flows across the page;
Will he reply in kind?

Words, endless words,
Written on the page.
She pours her soul onto the paper,
For him to read one day.

Sentences, endless sentences;
Written from her heart.
Her page fills and fills again -
It's tearing her apart.

Love, endless love,
Exchanged across the seas.
He's gone to fight, to war, to death,
She's left to pray for peace.
