A Heart Buried in War

A Heart Buried in War

A Poem by Brie
"

When you put your heart in a battle for love, and you lose the whole war

"
I had you, had you in the grip of my hands
Gripping you deeper and deeper into me
Without letting a piece of you free
I stalked you down, watching your every moves
Waiting for your love, your heart to bloom
I gave everything up, not surrendering
But giving in, making you want my heart
Yet, I was clueless, not looking directly in the smoke
While I was waiting for you to be mine,
You already decided our fate
Our fate to not be in the same world
How could I be so stupid?
I gave you my heart, and everything else
And the only thing you did was stomp on it
Friendship is better you say, but we aren't friends
We were friends in the whole war, but
You betrayed me and became my enemy
You destroyed my every moves and killed me
Not in reality, but in my fantasy and my dreams
So while I cry tears of sorrow, your love is still alive
And mine's killed in action, lying on the cold ground
Buried with the other of the restless souls
While you think of us as friends,
I think of you as an uncompleted body
Who's heart was burned in the living hell
And ashes folded inside of you
For you won't let love settle inside of you
And let me die alone without a breath of love
