silent moments spent
just gazing at your face.
looking helplessly
as your jaw tightens.
seeing the mask shield
the pain and the hurt.
pulling a cover
over your internal distress.

all i can do
is pull you in for a hug.
soothe you with my hands
and comfort when i can.
my ears hear your pleas
my heart feels what you do not say.
i want to kiss
all that pain away.

my wounded soldier
i'm here for you.
