In Iraq





Lonely days
Spent withering
Dehydrating
Suffocating

Night terrors
Invading
Mollesting the mind
Without any reason

But Fear

I know you miss
Gramma's cooking
And the cool air
Back in the states

Or a soft bed
Your wife's touch
Feeling safe
Even in this world...

We miss you too

    You have described every soldier's thoughts and emotions when they are deployed. The feeling of emptiness of not having the familiarity of family and friends around them.

    This is a great piece, and I congratulate you on writing it so charged with emotion.

    I thank you for entering, and wish you luck.
