This War

we fought this war

far from battle.

cries and fears

hard to handle.

I was shot, and torn

so many tears.

i loved you once

for so many years. 

i saw your blood

caked on my hands

i took one look

only a glance.

and in only a moment

i took my stance. 

i stayed by your side

i didn't think

nor worried

i only did what was best. 

i took love as my sight

instead of fleeing

i insisted to fight. 

 

i was stabbed and ripped apart.

it was no longer the enemy i fought

it was myself from the start. 

i stood by yours side

hoped for the sun

but nothing went right

our hearts were on the run. 

you fell for another 

while i did the same

but alas, we stayed together

we learned to share the blame. 

we could pretend

but this still was not the end. 

the war

we fought

never quite stopped

tho the sun came out

our love was blocked. 

this war was not over

not even close..

 

i died in that war

and so did you

and even in death

we fight for there truth. 

cause I've faced the fact 

that even now

i will stay by your side

with your blood on my hands

and no where to hide. 

difference is

i see with my eyes

and not blinded

by love.
