When the battle rages
and arrives with malice
upon our front door,
Will you let me don my armor,
let me go out into the night,
go out and fight in this war?
Or will you hold me back
and never let go, fearing you'll lose me?
just say that you love me.
There is no time,
there is not time for hesitation,
let me go into the night and bleed for thee.
If love conquers all,
then where is the victory march,
where is the hero returning from foreign shores?
This conflict will rise
and it will take all our might
to stand strong among the corps.
Do not leave me in this time of need, love,
for I will stay with you
and fight until we are free.
There is no time,
There is not time for hesitation, love,
let me go into the night and bleed for thee.
Author notes
"Inter arma enim silent amor"
"In times of war, love falls silent."
Give me a critical thought.

This is a very unique poem- I like how you personalize everything and keep the theme relatively smooth throughout. It was a bit melodramatic but I think this works with the poem.. if you had drawn out the poem into more lines I think I wouldn't have liked it so much because that wouldn've taken away from the heartfelt honesty in the story you weave. Beautiful poem.
