Gone and away"

"The many thoughts run through her head
whilst she lies awake in bed.
Softly weeping through the night
she clings to his picture.
Emotions ignite.
He'd gone away to fight a war
"I will make it back" he swore.
Been gone nine months and then a while,
she wears his heart but fakes a smile.
Tears no longer kept in place,
for they come running down her face.
She's held it in for way to long,
but still she finds she MUST stay strong.
It's eight o'clock and time for class
she awaits the day they will amass"
