The towel

When you have fought your whole life.
You know little of anything else.
Nothing like when they take it away.
Everyone says you have nothing left.
I have no more to prove.
Ive nothing to gain.
Ive known one woman who can always heal my mood.
The damage my body has sustained now it plagues me harsh.
Ive survived wars and nightmares and terrors.
Ive been shot stabbed bombed burned and left for dead.
Yet i still remain.
Only when she touches me does there come an end to my pain.
I was born with a gift from god.
Or was it a pact with the devil.
One made before my creation that i must live with.
My girls are my heart my wife the queen of my world.
Yet now im to old to learn new tricks.
To young to quit.
Almost a relic now i still cant figure out lifes shit.
I am whom i hate more than most.
Sometimes i dont even know why.
Not sure to call this a write or more the ramblings of a man forgotten.
Forgotten in space few have known the traveling miles of scars that riddle my body.
Even fewer the scars bared on my soul.
Forgotten in time im a left over relic of barbarian men ones best left forgotten.
Time heals all but only if theirs time to permit.
Will i stop finding away no i wont let my loves go without.
Now i have to find a new way as my time is almost out.
They cant stand to see me smile they hate when i show compassion.
Most of the world that knows me only knows me as a brute.
A hulking beast only good for savage entertainment.
Yet she makes all that disappear.
Ive paid for all we own through these freakish clads.
Yet she seemed overjoyed it is over.
Im glad to see her happy but now im not sure what to do.
Theyve thrown in my towel i was no where close to through.
So with a heavy heart.
I guess i bid farwell.
