Broken Soldier

Re-emerging from the muddy booze soaked trenches
Into A haze of cigarette smoke and regret.
Drafted into this war by my own past fuck ups.I was fighting before the War , I was fighting against you , fighting for me but I thought it was for you .

Now I fight alone , I fight for love while the other soldiers fight for lust .

Soldier on Young man !

I'm raising the white flag , I lye down in content , I'm to old to keep fighting .

You win , I admit defeat
As A broken man would rather die than continue on and lose everything that makes me who I am .

This is A metaphor for dating . When I was in a relationship I wasn't mature enough to show my partners the love and respect they deserved , I believed then that my behaviour was because I loved them and I believed I was fighting for our relationship , years have gone by and I realise that my behaviour was just selfish . I've been single now for a while and trying to meet my significant other but I am afraid and confused by what people find normal and it's a
Struggle to meet anyone . I have had numerous jelouse male friends try and start fights with me for showing a girl any attention and it seems like I'm constantly fighting . I give up and I'm not going to fight anymore. �I'm too old for the club and pub scenes and there's no where else in this world for me . So I quit x
