...it's where my heart is
On wings of steel he flew from me,
My heart, my breath he stole
And though I ache so bitterly,
I know twas not his goal
"Spartan, come back with your shield or on it",
He asked me to say ere he left
I felt silly and strange in the midst of the crowd,
but stifling tears and laughter, met his request
A fierce hug, a deep kiss
I love you...
Then he turned,
And I watched him walk away
He went because he loves me
I know how much he cares
He wanted to provide a home for us,
And help others protect and defend theirs
And yet, when he left,
Home did too...
I'm still here, and so are the kitties, but the rooms seem empty and everything feels off kilter
On wings of steel he'll fly back someday,
Though now it seems way too far
But when he steps through that dull, sterile door,
My home will be back in my arms
