Love is War
A battlefield of broken dreams
Transparent in its core
Hypnotically ripping through the seams
Fire by fire, Shot by shot
Bleed from the chambers of the heart
Painfully revealing the never ending plot
Unable to believe this is the easy part
Paradise now stained with blood
Looking at each battle that was never won
Waiting for the shores to flood
Darkness that forever blocks the sun
Escaping tranquility of night
Overcoming the great divide
Accepting its cruel delight
Even when two hearts collide
Playing my position when you come into view
Memories calling me back
Knowing no way to talk this through
Closing out distractions to keep me on track
Trigger in my hands
Straight line of sight
Swallowing my worries and doubts
For a moment of silence
I might try to find an easy way out
One step closer... yet still too far
Grabbing my hand so strong and true
Instantly healing each and every scar
And finally saying I do
Love may be war but it’s bittersweet
Right down to the core
A battle that can never be won
Fighting temptation that the heart has done
Every day getting better even when it is hard
It’s always better to love even if you have to fight
There is no greater gift so hold on with all your might
