Won before Loss

... I dont even get my own stuff ...

Won before Loss

 

There is an essence

       that exists

between you and me

       that is done

   is finished

       before it was begun.

 

There is a fight

       that exists

between you and me

          that was won

   is tarnished

       before it was started.

 

There is a spirit

       that was fired

from your soul to mine

   that was a victory

       and a defeat

on the battlefield of love.

 

I do not pretend to know the answer

but I know i must fight

to see

who wins, who loses

in the struggle to decide

which life

is right

for me and you.

 

Take this life

   and allow it to thrust into you

I will take this breast

   and allow it to encompass me

I will not rest till i see

   who wins....

 

the fate i desire

the fate i deserve

 

   or both.

Wonderful poem on struggle for love.
Love the win-win story.

[Corset]

what a beautiful inspiration, I love peoms that seem to speak to the reader, they feels so , I don't know, personal I suppose. I can definitely appreciate the need to determine what is the right path for yourselves,
hopefully it will be a path you both have the opportunity to agree upon.

the need to go forward to some resolution is the point of this piece
