Array ( [sid] => 19944 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Men Cry Too [time] => 2003-07-04 20:35:00 [hometext] => If you don't know already I've returned to Korea but I only have about 42 more days left.

The Phantom [bodytext] => I sit silently on this plane, a hollow soul replaced by pain,
I close my eyes and visualize, the point of death, my own demise,
You can't sleep while filled with sarrow, feeling as if there's no tomarow,
Saying goodbye again, when will the misery end,

I try and put my life together but I have no glue,
If God exsist, I'd hire a lawyer and sue,
Give my little girl a kiss, tell how much she'll be missed,
Holding my wife in a deep embrace, fighting back emotions I dare not face,

Tears filling my eyes, closing them tightly I won't let myself cry,
This isn't the first time I've had to go,
It doesn't make it any easier, it still rips apart my soul,
I'm temporarly insane, recovering from a heart that's been slain,

Soldiers don't cry, we fight for our country and die,
I should be use to leaving my family,
On a momments notice, or the president finds it handy,
Visions of the past, bad desions that tend to last,

Grey clouds cover the sky, hurry up rain, hide the tears in my eyes,
The only thing that keeps you from me, is this puddle they call a sea,
30000 feet in the air, lost in time, like nobody cares,
Loneliness waiting until I'm with you, yeah baby.......Men cry too.

Forever Faithful

You and men like yourself show us all that land of the free, home of the brave aren`t just words. thay are backed-up with enormous courage and conviction for freedom.
Our loved ones and civilians would not be safe here without that tear you are willing to shed.
I thank you for that, be safe. Crow
[a beautiful poem]
