Fighter

I've been taken down

been lifted up for a second round

I've been done before

still you keep coming back for more

I've been on your side

seen all the pain and the tears you've cried

I've been next to you

for all the s**t you were going through

you make me

stand up and believe

faith in me

more than I can conceive

you break me

looks like I've been deceived

you rape me

down on my hands and knees

you bring out the fighter in me

the fighter in me

now it's round three

once again just you and me

now it's your turn

to feel what it is to burn

now it's all gone

what we held so tight for so long

now it's memories

built around lies for centuries

you make me

stand up and believe

faith in me

more than I can conceive

you break me

looks like I've been deceived

you rape me

down on my hands and knees

you bring out the fighter in me

the fighter in me

round four is here

now it all seems so crystal clear

round four has passed

you watched it go by so slow yet so fast

round four bell rings

this is the end and new beginning

round four is finished

like our flame that we extinguished

you make me

stand up and believe

faith in me

more than I can conceive

you break me

looks like I've been deceived

you rape me

down on my hands and knees

you bring out the fighter in me

the fighter in me

now I'm a prize fighter.

Nice. I like the fighter as an allegory. Love is like a boxing match. The back and forth until only one is left standing. What's the point? I don't get it. Great poem.

Thanks! I tried to show how a relationship is always fighting for and sometime with the other person and no matter the outcome it should leave you stronger in time.
