Words were thrown, Words meant to demorallize Words meant to pierce the heart As a sword pierces flesh.
I bleed where I stand, Not blood, but salt and water. Not through veins; But through eyes The direct root To the heart. Not by her words alone But also those thrown by me At her.
Is this love's price? Inflicting wounds that leaves scars Unseen by eyes? It matters not the Cause of this Civil unrest Nor does it matter Who the victor shall be, For the price of victory shall Be suffered by both.
Even now, before the final blows Are delivered. My heart cries out in pain Of things I said to her. Why must this continue? This unholy battle that's Upsetting the balance Of two lives. Two lives in love, Each knowing the words thrown From anger, hurts more than hail thrown From the heavens. Why can't we stop it? It's as if The Battle has gained a will Of it's own and knows it needs these Jabs of hate for it's own survival. And we are this battle's pawns, Scraficing all that is good for us, So the Battle will survive at the cost of our love! But yet, even as we weary; I still struggle For that one sentence that Will Thrust her to her knees! My decapitation stansa! Knowing that my victory would turn Into our funeral dirge! And our love and trust we Spent half a lifetime Building, has been set back an ion!
Cam, a heartbroken write. i hope it's not autobiographical, and yet feel. the pride within us, that of anger at another's rejection, is somewhat unfathomable. Yet we are always better off (both sides) if we set it aside. thanks. ;-)

Love is a madness, we can't control, hate breeds hate, anger breeds anger. Heart wrenching poem.
