Love and War

All is fair in love and war

But what if that love relates to war more?

The main influence that I have seen

Was my parents with their love: mean.

Like flipping a switch, good versus bad

Happy, pleased, now angry, sad.

Changing my perspective,

They were so affective.

Left me wondering if this was love

If it is all I am worthy of?

An unhealthy ideal

How am I to know what's real?

Fighting, they scream.

I thought love was a happy dream

Not this, it's a nightmare

Real enough to permanently scare.

Cheating and lying,

Can't you see that I'm dying?

Further along,

Life, a bad love song.

But I met them.

They calmed the mayhem

Of my fears,

Drying tears.

Trying, prying,

Saving me from dying.

Have hope, they say

Love doesn't end that way

Always.

Real love outweighs

The war between heart and mind,

It repairs the devastation left behind.


Love versus war,

Something I cry for.

End the sorrow, end the pain.

From this there is nothing to gain.

Go on, stop this insanity.

Words of hate, profanity,

Instead should be of caring, admiration.

The true cause of frustration:

Love and war.
