life is a battle, but i only fight when i fall

With battle armor as a darkness in my eyes
and a sword of bitter words on my lips
this war is between our soul's
from one heartbeat to your heartache
this is fear, love and hope
more sometimes
then i believe i can take

With a thought of fire
i can burn out a dream
trailing fingers through liquid whispers
lies falling upon deaf ears
whispered from lips long unused
for anything else

Nerves on edge falling through cracks unseen
brushing through fields of bleeding poppies
a memory of lost causes
but strength is all it takes to carry on
with a heartbeat on a butterfly's wings
tear drops falling from a cloudy sky
the peace before the storm

with arm's raised
and battle cries echoing
with a broken heart and stronger soul
i plunge my sword in deep
cleaving your heart in two
i scream out in your face
my wounded  battle cry

I dont need you anymore!

With blood staining the soil red
and a heavy sigh upon your death
my heart is healed from this war
this is peace

Life is a battle,
                      But i only fight when i fall.
