When we are at war
I feel like I have been defeated
By my own right hand
I feel like my very soul is bleeding
And I wish I didn’t
Love you so hard
There is way too much
That I give to you
Though I learned long ago
To keep enough for myself
To remain in love with me
But it is you
That completes me by taking
From the first moment
My sensibility
You took away my caution
Just to be with you
Now you say that you love me
And most of me believes it
And that corner of my heart
That suffers in disbelief
Is the part that wishes
And hopes for
A love that you already give
Causing it to feel like a fairy tale
Wondering if you see
Completely the ME that I am
Wondering if it is enough
For you to forsake any intruder
Wishing to steal
Our Dream…
Your eyes bear into me
Like you are conquering me
Over and over
Causing me to forget
That the rest of the world exists
And I am unable to address
The very power that I have
Yet, when we are at war
I want to run to the furthest part of the earth
Where you are not
Because I can’t stand the pain
Of battling my right hand.
