War Within




I gave you the best of me. You continued to test this of me.
The promise you made to me. The image it saved me.
I continued to strive. I continued to defeat.
My love for you blossomed like roses in concrete.
And like ashes scattered, I am now ocean deep.
I know what it feels like, to be burned at my peak.
When all that I wanted, was all that I deserved.
I put down my gauntlet, retired and preserved.
Let there be lessons of a battle that was fought.
Lessons of battles within me.
The war that was bought.
I loved you with all my heart. Do know this.
I never turned my back once, until you did.
In many ways, fate tells me to go.
Countless nights I screamed while my heart turned cold.
Why did you not fight for me?
Why did you let go?
I was treated like a mercenary with no specific role.
But, to assassinate and kill, this was my goal.
And so I put down my armor and give you my shield.
The blood on my sword, from battles of deals.
My love goes out to some, but never to many.
This I hope you know, as you punish the empty.
