Dying soldier

I was fighting to keep our love alive
I fell into the trap and was held captive by your love
If I only knew you were a wolf in sheeps clothing

You stood still like calm ocean
Not making a sound, no emotion
Your eyes were filled with lies
Pointing a gun at my heart and pulling the trigger
Enjoying the sight of dying love

Now my heart won't stop bleeding
My heart pleaded with me to carry on fighting
I ran through flying bullets
I begged, I cried, I was petrified of pain
You walked away not looking behind

Collapsing from exhaustion
With my heart barely alive
You in the distance just a fading memory
Just a matter of time when you will disappear
Along with my broken heart

I crawled in your direction keeping my heart alive
I had one more fight left in my soul
But you kept shooting at my heart
The agony grew beyond me
I'm a dying soldier who had one mission
To bring happiness and love into your heart

My heart was filled with love
Now it's full of hatred and pain
I'm too dead to feel
You stole my soul
Drifting through life without a place in the world

I'm a dying soldier

A very deep poem, full with sadness, and the feeling of what was once love, great job

[patti]

thank you... well love is the strongest feeling that one person can have, sometimes is the best feeling but many times it will go against you

[Coyote Poetry]

A powerful poem. Love can test the heart and the spirit. Was a song from many years ago. "Love is a battleground." Few victors and many losers. A outstanding poem. Made me want to research a old song. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

thank you very much... Yes i think i might of heard of that song i believe, but yeah love is war sometimes you win most time you lose

[quinfinn]

you may have lost the battle but someday you will win the war. this is a clever concept for a romance poem, wish i had thought of it. you did extremely well with this piece! be proud....

[patti]

you are too kind with your words... yes i may have lost this battle but good leader will always regroup and strike again, but i though i would try to challange myself with this poem
