Gone AWOL
Melissa S Feb 2017
I have missed me
I have missed us
Things have not been the same
Maybe someone else is using our name

Some days it feels like we are hands on a clock
just going through all the motions
Other days we are never seen at all
Maybe its just our memory that answers the call

So I miss me
I miss us
Could there be anymore space between us
We are not the same
Maybe someone else is using our name

Is there still love between us
Could things go back to what they were before
Don't we deserve love too
Or do we love ourselves more

Oh how I miss me
I miss us
When we are not the same
For so long now
Someone's been using our name

Not even sure if our hearts work anymore
or if those parts have already died
Do we take a chance on love gone lost
Or just give up throw in the towel and hide

I still do miss me
As I do us
Will we ever be the same
We are trapped inside
Screaming out our name
This is a reworked older poem of mine....:)

i have gone awol
absent without leave
- i have gone awol
a basket case thats me.

On the outside i am crying
On the inside i am dying.
- i have gone awol.
I am abset without leave.

Am i truly damaged goods
For popping pills
A constant addiction?
A violent ****.
And loss off self.

Its beena year why do i
Return to this hell.
I am awol.
Ive gone on french leave.

Absent without emotion
Yet im crying in the rain
God i know you love me.
my friends are worried too.

But i am on french leave.
Im so ****** up
You dont even have the slightest clue.

I am awol.
Absent without leave
Please dont ask me where ive gone.
If i want. I will find you.

What happened is certainly enough to appall.
I'm in the Army and I was forced to go AWOL.
I am disgusted by what happened and it's hard to believe.
Even though my brother was dying, they wouldn't give me leave.
I wanted to see my brother one last time before he died.
I plead with my superiors to give me leave but I was denied.
When it came to my late brother, I thought the world of him.
I went AWOL to be by his side and to tell him that I love him.
Now I'm facing a Court Martial, I'm in trouble indeed.
They turned their backs on me in my hour of need.
Now they're treating me like I committed a horrible crime.
But at least I was able to tell my brother that I love him in time.
A Court Martial and time in prison are what I'll probably receive.
But my superiors were cruel and despicable for not giving me leave.
