Love is a Battlefield

A thought born from rage
A decision made in haste
An action performed out of anger
As a precious heart’s laid to waste

Trembling lips blow out smoke
From the fatal shot of words spoken
As the sanctity of ones promise
Is left shattered and broken
 
A soul stained with blood
From that murderous shot
As the words enter the heart
Painful and red hot

A grieving face wet with tears
And the others eyes filled with shame
As misguided emotions
Were most likely to blame

Jealousy, mistrust
Insecurity and greed
From their tight grip
Some can never be freed

This emotional war we fight
Is brutal and tough
But as hard as some fight
It is never enough

So what’s left are the victims
Of this senseless war
Leaving the survivors bloodied and broken
And empty to the core

Words and emotions
Are powerful weapons and tools
So make sure you don’t get shot
By one of loves fools
