SERVING COMES AT A COST
© Copyright 2013 Richard Lee King
He told me he loved her, she’d always be his gal.
She was his girlfriend and I ,,,,his very best pal.
The days kept passing, we both turned eighteen,
he joined the military, but that was never my dream.
So, I’m off to college and he’s off to war,
he told me he loved her, each day even more.
He went to Vietnam in my sophomore year,
when I mentioned it to her, she shed nary a tear.
He thinks she’s the one, she thinks that he’s not,
the things she really wants are all things he ain’t got.
She felt he’d deceived her, a little bait-N-switch,
she had no plans to wait, until he finished up his hitch.
She said she didn’t love him, which he couldn’t conceive,
she left it for me to tell him she was planning to leave.
Smack dab in the middle was where I now stood,
efforts to convince her would do neither much good.
Though I loved them both, no matter what I might say…
the pain within his heart, was never going to go away.
“He told me he loved her, she’d always be his gal.
