love's war lost.

"my soul has been lost

in a war that could never be

won.

i have heard stories

of broken hearts and minds

torn to pieces because of love that

proved to be their d e m i s e .

they say the fight was fought desperately

and those souls made

s a c r i f i c e s

giving up their lives

for a cause that is merely futile-

as love is finite.

I swore to myself that i would never

devote myself

to a state of such

consumption and volatility

for until now their voices remain

to be agonizingly loud mourning over what they've given up

and the loss of what they once shared.

my insides were already cracked apart

i didn't want to be a shipwreck

sink

i

n

g down oceans of my own weaknesses.

perhaps i've been born as an angel

with a broken wing

but that doesn't mean i cannot experience the skies,

can I?

everyone is destined to fall- and I never expected to

lose all the pieces I had left.

we are fools

of our own obsessions,

we wish for what we don't deserve and end up being

wrecked by it."

I forgot how being mended felt like the moment you left.
