Remembrance Sunday
The following poem and message came through just before Remembrance Sunday 2009:
Lest We Forget
Although the country was at war
We didn’t want to go
Yet courage and bravery within our hearts
Was what we had to show
What about our loved ones?
Our thoughts we had to calm
While we fight for our country
Who’ll keep them safe from harm?
People knew what we were doing
The concern they felt was real
We were the ones who were going away
It was easy for them to feel
Our concerns were squashed away
We could not let them rise
Any caring thoughts we may have had
Were forgotten within the cries
On the battle field a caring thought
Gave you determination to return
To stand and fight regardless
Was something you had to learn
Those at home would worry
Because it was us that went away
The worry was just as great for us
Because we really wanted to stay
Stay and protect our loved ones
As well as fight for our country
There was a battle going on inside and out
And from either we could not flee
We too would hear some news from home
Of where a bomb would drop
The thoughts of whether it was our families
That were involved just wouldn’t stop
Yet squash it down again we would
Our emotions we’d keep from sight
Like sealing it in an envelope
Then off we’d go to fight
We knew when each were hurting
But we had to let them be
Although probably now it’s realised
That our emotions would set us free
We were big brave men, you know!
It wasn’t for us to cry
We were here to fight a cause
Without any concern for why
Who were we to question?
We just made a stand
We donned our country’s colours
And fought to free our land
We went for basic training
Where we all learnt to fight
And close up deep within out hearts
So we would not feel the fright
The dread we felt was unbearable
Oh my, how would we cope?
Joined in camaraderie
Was all that gave us hope
We looked upon each other
We learnt from what each would do
And as each of our coping mechanisms kicked in
We began to see it through
The love inside our hearts we felt
Was blackened to a dull
It was like we’d all been switched off
So our emotions were void and null
They told us we had to be strong
We had to become cold
And if we let our emotions flow
The fear would just take hold
Some of us didn’t make it
The fear was too much to bear
These felt they’d been sent home in disgrace
And had to face their own nightmare
It mattered not our freedom
Some begged for us to stay
Yet off we went regardless
To fight on come what may
To fight within our hearts for you
So you would then be free
So that wartime isn’t within your lives
It’s only in history
This is what we believed you know
That after it was all done
That when the war was over
It was your freedom we had won
Freedom from battles within and without
So you could live your life
The way that you would want to live
Free from any strife
You see we took on the battles
So you would understand
And let go off the battles of life
And live your life first hand
So free up your emotions
There’s no time to be brave
Open up within your hearts
And your own life you will save
Rid yourself of battles
There’s no need to fight
The wartimes have all been and gone
So fill your life with delight
Live it for our memories
Give up all that is pain
Live it how we would have liked
Let us not have died in vain
The good times that we held so dear
And squashed from out of sight
Are yours to take hold of and enjoy
So you don’t have to fight
Feel love, be warm and tender
Open up your hearts
Be free with your emotions
So the battle then departs
We’re here among the history
To show you a different way
Relent from giving up on life
And live your life today
It was us that went to battle
We chose to be brave
So you could find courage without the war
And receive the freedom that we gave
Suppression
She would beat my chest and I would stand proud!
No emotion!
It hurt if I let my emotions flow!
It felt like I took on her pain!
I didn’t feel able to cope with leaving her behind!
I didn’t realise the pain was the love flowing between us, filling and flowing!
It hurt though!
What hurt more was not being able to show her love before I left!
If I did I would have cried myself!
Men don’t cry!
So alongside suppressing my tears, I suppressed my love!
I didn’t think about it, so it didn’t hurt!
I didn’t acknowledge her beauty for fear of awakening the loving feelings I felt for her!
I left the woman I love showing her no feelings of love!
I left with her thinking I didn’t love her!
I died with her thinking I didn’t love her!
All because I was a man!
Going off to a world where feelings were shut of so they didn’t affect you, yet slowly they sent you insane because you didn’t acknowledge them!
A land of make believe!
A land of untruths!
A land of lies!
A land where promises are made yet never kept!
And through all this we had to miss our loved ones without feeling the pain, suppressing the love therefore suppressing the pain!
I didn’t write, I couldn’t!
I couldn’t tell her that I loved her because I didn’t feel it!
How could I lie!
So I didn’t write!
I know the loss she felt through this, yet I couldn’t let myself feel this!
I had to let her think I didn’t love her so she could move on!
She didn’t though!
It hurt her that I didn’t write!
I hurt her!
How could I tell her I missed her and I wanted to hold her when it hurt so much to think this, to send it would hurt her too!
When I died I asked to go to her!
It was like she knew I was there!
She cried!
She screamed at me!
She told me she hated me!
I deserved that!
Then she told me she loved me!
I still wanted to hold her, yet now I couldn’t, at least not in a physical sense!
How can you be held by something that’s not there?
I recognised her pain!
I knew it was what I should have felt when I went away!
I know this would have helped me!
It was like I gave up and death came next!
There was nothing to live for!
I slowly smothered the life out of myself by suppressing every emotion that I should have been feeling!
The joy of looking into her eyes!
The love I felt when I held her!
The excitement of seeing her!
The pain of missing her!
These emotions would have kept me going, they would have given me something to live for!
Instead I had nothing!
Not even pain!
We slowly watched each other die!
Inside!
With nothing inside there was nothing outside worth living for!
As we watched each other die physically, we saw the life leave our bodies!
The life that kept us alive!
The life that we buried way before we were buried in the ground!
Some saw it and felt what they suppressed all at once, for a short period they felt every emotion, they cried, screamed, laughed, jumped about, it was madness or so we thought!
These were shot!
These were killed by their own allies!
A moment of living ended their lives!
It didn’t matter what we did!
Either way our lives ended!
She wouldn’t listen when I tried to communicate with her!
She just kept asking, ‘Why didn’t you love me?’
I couldn’t answer, because I did love her!
I just couldn’t feel it!
I told her I loved her and I felt it!
She held her heart!
She smiled!
And then cried!
I saw life in her though!
I begged her to let her life stay!
Offered her what happened when life was suppressed!
I could only hope she would hear me and heed my advice!
She thought of me often!
I returned to her at these times!
Each time she held her heart and cried!
One day I went to her and she held her heart and smiled!
I wondered why!
What was this?
This was new!
I was so used to her crying when I appeared it was a shock to see her smile!
She was sat at her mirror looking over her shoulder through the reflection!
She was getting ready for an evening out!
She stopped, held her heart and smiled!
She said ‘I know you loved me!’
She told me she knew this because someone else does now!
She said it was the same feeling and that she knows it went away when I went away and that she understood why now!
So she did hear me, it just didn’t register straight away because of her grief at the time!
She told me she loves me and I communicate I love her too!
She held her heart and smiled!
I know she’ll think of me and I’ll go to her when she does!
I have some learning to do before I learn to love again!
Love and hugs
Jo
