Battlefield

My heart is a battlefield

Torn between two loves

Left right left right

My heart is being tugged

I cant make a decision

I don’t know how to take sides

I love them both and everything they are

And it’ll hurt too much to let a love die

I have grown too attached

In very little time

　

But time has gone by

And I still have yet to decide

Should I go left

Or should I go right

What love should I save

What love should I let die

They are both very caring

And I love their smile

And their beautiful eyes

every time I look at their pictures

My heart swoons inside

It hurts for once that I cant simply stay on the line

I know that at the end of this war

I will lose this fight

Letting one go to keep as a friend

But gaining absolute love

I cant let my choice hurt the other one

It’ll kill me inside

I just hope in the end

That the war was lost

For a very good reason

I am in love with two very great friends

In the end I lose something

But I’ll gain something in advance

Amazing! I've found myself in this position but have never been able to write about it so well. It has a very satisfying cadence and I love the repetition of the left and right. I picture it as someone turning their head in directions, torn by the decision that has to be made, unsure if the final choice will be the right one. It depicts the tension between loving emotions but the torment of having to make a choice really well. Thank you for sharing :)

Those decisions we must make in a life. Some of the decisions leave us empty even in small victories. I like the feel of the poem. The movement and story was outstanding.
