Pain for Simplicity
Pain of heart, Pain of mind
Both of which are mine
Pain of body, Pain of pride
All I do deplore
All impossible to ignore
Then there was a knocking at my door
Sir you must got to war
This upset me more and more
Cause now I must tell the girl I adore
She collapsed on the floor
Her crying, weeping I do deplore
Please can't you just ignore
She wept and wept
Nothing I could do I just sat beside her upset
Daring to wish that they could forget
Eventually I sat up and said what needed to be said
Its only you I adore, and I do wish I could ignore
But I can't I must go to war explore a world I've never known before
Stay, don't go through the pain of war
Stay with me, our life a bore
Please don't be upset Lenette
I'll go, come back, there's be nothing to regret
You better prove that Christopher. I'll be here waiting, everything set
Come back to me different then you are now, you'll be the one who will regret
********Ten Months**************
I do miss my dear Lenette
Soon they say we'll be brought back
Once we fend off this last attack
***********One Month Later*********
They say there's not much we can do anymore
We are weakened sergeant's sure there'll be no more gore
Everyone's complaining about the bore
Though secretly they want the end of war
Praying they'll make it back to the one they most adore
Eventually we get the call now we can begin the crawl
The crawl back home
********Another Month*************
A year its been since I've seen Lenette
I've missed the bore of simplicity but there's nothing that I regret
Eventually we get to the town square
Sadly though she isn't there
No something isn't correct
Running off toward her home I slowly start to be eaten by my fear
Now my pain is set into gear
I forgot to watch out for the open wound on my leg where a spear
Was driven straight through I don't stop running until I'm there
My skin burning from the sun's glare
I struggle up the single stair
And stumble into her sister, Blaire
After giving me a thorough stare
She opens the door
Giving me a shove I choose to ignore
I stumble in, falling to the floor
Lenette comes running pulling me into a sitting pose
The fear in her eyes I do loathe
Shakily I stand and she guides me to a table that she set
See I knew letting you go would be something to regret
Are you still the man I first met?
Dear Lenette there is nothing I regret
The thing I feared most was coming back and finding out our time together had been spent
Please answer me this. Am I the same as when we first met?
Or have I done something I'll regret?
You're still the one I adore
The one I live for
The one I'd always wait for
All that and much more
Lenette it's you my love, I'd give anything for
You I'd give my last breath for
Your I'll I could ask for and more
Anything you want from me, its yours
Though there's one thing I must ask for
Anything love, its yours
A simple kiss I dare implore?
She smiles shyly bringing her beauty that I adore
Is that all that you desire?
Yes that is all I require
Shocking that is all you implore
In reality I expected more
Simplicity is something I adore
After the pain of war its something I'd beg for
Only you, this, and nothing more
