Logic

He staggers onwards, eyes set fast
peripheral vision replays his past
with gritted teeth he sets his stall
he'll prove himself to one and all

bruised and broken, keeps his pace
there's no expression on his face
although his eyes show fire and steel
he can't allow himself to feel

he'd never hurt another soul
eventually that takes its toll
blanks out all the dreams he had
thinks of doing something bad

and still he's moving all the time
not daunted by this final climb
to sacrifice himself again
do anything to help her pain

there's nothing that he wouldn't do
nothing she's not put him through.,
Not something that she's worthy of,
But there is no logic in love.

this is really powerful, the pace matches the content so nicely

i got the impression of a familial love her rather than a romantic one though- sort of the love a father would have for a rebellious daughter thats put him through pain?

great write thank you :)

Wow! I love this write. The rhyme isn't forced and progression is steady. I loved it! I didn't expect the ending and it couldn't be more true: But there's no logic in love.

A poignant write...
