Two little tags.

I sit here with what I have left,
a folded flag and two little tags,
what they did, was theft.

You fought for our freedom,
with blood, sweat, and tears.

Making it sound like your heirdom,

I knew it would bring out my greatest fears.

 

Sitting here with what I have left,

looking at the folded flag and thoes two little tags.

 

I realize how much I miss you.

 

 




 

Author notes

OK this write is raw.. and a little out there... I was moving this weekend and I came across an old letter that was giving to me, when my boyfriend at the time was over in Iraq. They thought he was dead, and his mother sent me a letter he had written, and given to her in-case that he did pass away over there.. In the letter there was a set of his dog tags and a 30 page letter about how much he loved me, and our plans together. He ended up living, if you can call it living, but he was never the same. Even after all this time, I found the pain I felt that night reading the letter over and over again. I miss him.



Heirdom –noun- heirship; inheritance. Origin: 1590–1600; heir + -dom

    a good piece of poetry, it could do with a little work though on the spelling, there is one glaring right at me in the end line.
