Love and war



At war with my heart
For hearting, you,
For all you do is hurt me.
It's a constant battle,
A battle I wish was a dream,
For Sometimes and sometimes
Dreams don't come true.
That's how far my wish goes
And that's how far it gets,
It's a wish!
And that's what it is...a wish!
They never come true.

Your love is never appeasing,
Your actions are neither appealing,
But your words are weapons
That wage war in my heart.

I know no difference
Between wrong and right,
You're the Right I want,
But the wrong I don't need.
I, know no difference
Between love and like
They are all alike to me
Like "like poles"
Perhaps that's why we repel
For I know no difference
Between the two.

You never hid who you are,
You've always been you
It's always been love and war.
I want you,
But, My sanity don't need you.
Perhaps that's the reason,
I can't find a reason
To leave you,
The toxicity in you
Is the war I love.
