War of Love
September 25, 2016
You hold a gun to my chest
As I hold a flower to yours
Your words the bullets
Your hatred your gun
Your mouth is an arsenal
Your tone, your words a
Weapon of mass destruction
My words are a daydream
One long forgotten in the
Seams of your uniform.
My hopes in you patched into
The stitches of your armor
Our love was a battle ground,
My heart became a massacre,
Your battalion of insults the culprits
All I wanted was a kiss
Not the poison that dripped from your tongue
I loved you like a daydream
You hated me like a nightmare
