Analysis of Love’s Silent War
Sometimes This life is cruel
It will take you to your knees
Have you begging please
Pain will be a fortress
That you wish to escape
But it will be much to late
Now you anticipate
This constant manipulation
Lucid contemplation.
It’s not over yet…
But I wonder if we will let
our pride determine our fate?
Mistaken happenstance-
We took further than a glance
Leaving us with no where to dance.
Now I am trying to comprehend
The finality of our end
That never had a chance to begin.
Alone I’m left once more
shards of my heart scattered along the shore
Wondering if love is worth this silent war?
