My War of Love With You

I have won many battles against sharp swords,

but I failed before your eyes and sweet words.

They were the sharpest I had ever known,

with ease, I lost the war and was overthrown.

My heart was once an undefeated gold mine,

then I saw you, and joy filled my domain.

Now that you are gone, I am left with worry,

yet in my heart, forever lives your memory.

I made your image like a dream so pure,

but you broke my heart, and there is no cure.

You filled my life with love and light,

after you left, I was lost in the night.

I shaped you in my mind as someone divine,

but you ended up breaking every part of mine.

I began to need you more than I should have,

that need became a poison I couldn't be saved.

A heart no one was able to claim,

you came and lit a beautiful flame.

No weapons ever cut me this deep before

with just one look, you won the war.
