Battle Within

Am I hurt?
Only your eyes can hurt me,
And they never will.

For your eyes speak my truth,
The truth that only our hearts know,
That I accept,
That you refuse.

I know and sense your struggle,
Between the love the heart wants,
And the life the mind keeps.

There is a battle within you,
All those who dare engage are doomed to fail,
For the only way to win,
Is not to play.

Oh baby -
I desire you even more,
Cause the battle is for me...
