Hard Deployment Days

She walks a path of emptiness, feeling so much alone
Her love is gone away from her, When he leaves so does home

The days are not so bad, filled with work and other things
The nights are getting harder, With the empty house it brings

Thoughts of him and where he is, an unavoidable truth
That he's not here not by her side, But gone out fighting and he's not bullet proof

On deploy is where he is, and she's here by herself
Trying to deal with living, And God she could use some help

Everything is going wrong, Nothing she does seems right
This is the way it always is, when he;s nowhere in sight

Things are getting harder, There's no end to the pain
Its as deep as any ocean, and it never goes away

But she puts on a smile, when she hears his voice
She doesn't want him to think, she suffers for his choice

Trying to be supportive, And nothing but brave
When all she wants is him home, to know that he's safe

And then she listens closely, to the way his voice sounds
Its not easy to notice, but he is sounding down

So she tried her hardest, to bring his spirits up
Trying not to say her problems, because her job never stops

Not only is SHE suffering, but he is hurting too
Defending the country and sacrificing is what Military do

Suddenly things don't look so bad, when you see it from the other side
She realizes he misses her too, And she is filled with pride

Yes there will be days, Where she will get distraught
But that will be okay, because one phone call taught

No matter how bad it gets, or impossible the way
Their love will get them through these hard deployment days
