The Soldier's Mistress

The Soldier's Mistress

You've taken risks
all your life, always
living on the edge
but for me you take
no chances, for me
you make no pledge

Your adrenalin ever
flowing - each moment
an adventurous one
your travel never ceasing
your day never done

How will you more than
"love" me?
How can we make a life?
When commitment is your
enemy and combat
is your "wife"?

What you do is honorable,
with that I must agree,
but I know that I want
more than you just
"looking" at me

How will I ever tell you?
When will I give up
this fight?

For it is one I can
never win, be it
wrong or right...
