Abraham Benguigui

A wife and a son

I can’t deny
how sad i am
With a huge hole inside
Is where i stand
With a bullet in the chest
My man has died
And with him
a part of me
Leaving a cold tear
Close to my soul
That will never go

All i can think is you
And our new born
Who will never see his dad
Because he was in a war
And he didnt survive

My love, my heart
If i could talk to you
And reach you one last time
I would talk about
Our beutiful son
Whos now six months old
He has your eyes
And my nose
But it’s your soul
What i see most
I know he’s just
A new born
But im afraid
Because in his eyes
I see the same look
You got when you left
For the last time
To fight in the war
