Warrior

Your tear puts a calming hand on
my unsheathed sword

A steel beauty I cling to
forged in the heat of betrayal and loss and lies

The justice with which I have wielded my words
The anger fuelling itself
A fire fed by ungrounded fear


When I fight with my full might
I can tear your whole personality apart
and in my mind
us

precise and complex words
yet you stay silent - not taking the bait

You deserve better than this war

Your tear as you watch me claw at the seams of us
searching for the reason you will leave

Your tear

and I remember
war is not a part of love

Such a beautiful and deep feeling. I see a struggle between love and duty.
