nothing to fight

i protest
said the girl
but there was
nothing to fight

it takes two
she thought
as her love walked
out of sight

and i cannot
stand here
and yell at myself

it is time to put
my pride up
on the shelf

so she began
to follow
the ghostly shape

entranced
per chance
by the mist trail it made

she followed it
down to the road
where it was dark

and all the stars
sparkled in the skies
like jewels

she followed
it to the late
night park

where lovers
sat in the grass
feeling the breeze cool

she followed to
beaches on almost
every shore

by the ocean
which made her
always want more

there were many
sights to be seen
it was a trip
through her love history

then she arrived
at the present
on the tail of her love

and she asked
one thing from
the world above

guide me she asked
as she arrived face to face
i have always trusted you
to keep me safe

believe in me
as i believe in you
were the words that
her love could convey

then she said again
i'm leaving
and turned and
walked away

thoughts of
what if, why
and what could it be

were swimming
in her head
like a churning sea

she followed
her love
out the door
and down the
unbeaten path

caught up with love
asked her to walk
then reached down
to hold her hand

we'll walk a while
on this journey
side by side

and if we depart
we walk away
leaving nothing
left to fight
