Love war

it's a war

a war of hearts

and i'm standing still

with my face caked with mud and tears

wondering just wondering 

how much longer i can fight for

my legs grow tired

my hope grows weak

as i know i fight this battle alone

 

 the rain pours and thunder strikes

as i try to fight for all my worth

another piece of mud is flung in my face

and another arrow strikes my heart

as i try not to sink to the floor

because i must keep strong

and watch the light

but even i wonder if that light is getting smaller

or is it just me losing hope

 

 but then from afar i see you

fighting your own demons

and i gain a spark of hope

that maybe just maybe i could win

for to win this war

i need a heart of steel

 

 then you turn round

and your face is somewhat close to mine

so up i stand 

to try and prove my worth

 

 i look at you and take in your beauty 

you bright eyes which behind them i notice pain

the kind of pain you only notice if you feel yourself

the hair which shimmers in the light

your lips, the very ones that make me laugh, sometimes cry and want to kiss

the way you walk, in a shy but determinded way

with them hands i wish i could hold

 

 but then i see them  bright eyes

dart between me and her

and i wonder, just wonder

how often they dart over to me

and if like me you are good at hiding 

but i take a step back and wait

for you to make up your mind

who is more important?

who do you want?

 

 i see the mud slowly cover my shoes

as arrows get shot into my heart

knowing what i want

which is different to what i have

but i must stand strong

for a soldier in this war i am

but to fight to the death

is something i'm not so sure i should do

because to me the answer is simple

as i stand right here

but to tell you that would be stupid

 

 i fight for what i believe

and who i love

so if you desire the other so much

i shall stand right behind you

guiding you towards your goal

i shall slowly sink in the mud

and more tears shall run

but never will i show my pain

 

 as i'm a solider in this war

this war of love

never shall i win and slowly i shall start to lose hope

but stand strong i shall

and my weakness's shall not show

as i walk along the path i create

right to the end
