She once told me a story
Of her one true love...
Such an odd tale to tell
A daughter about someone
Who was not her father.
Nearly eighty years later
After it was taken, I come
Across a fading photo...
A dead soldier's throne.
I wonder between the slow
Heartbeats of sadness
If he was the only love
She ever knew, yet never
Really knew other than
As a love long lost.
