The Battle of Us

What do I see when I look at you ? 

When you look at me ? 

For your eyes are your doorway

I'm inside I've lost the key

 

Your heart is made of steel

For some time it was home for three

Yet I see the small place you have now reserved for me

 

You love with fervour

You battle just like me

Your children are your life blood

Your love song has been sung

 

Then one night your depth beheld a soul

Calling to your own

I made you question

I begged for you to see

 

The battle inside was raging

For I was not part of your plan

You were drawn to the halo

Caging the sin within

 

Our bodies became the controller

The chemical composition taking root

We could not deny

We could not fight

The strength of our connection

From that very first night

 

You watch me, you seek me

You can see I'm losing too

The steel around your heart

Stood no defence against the nuke that landed on your floor

I question my decision

To bring this war to your door

 

What do I see when I look at you?

You're balancing on a tight rope

Uncertain now you stand

A small crevice once hidden

Is now home to my soul

 

You see it's vulnerable, you see it's lost

You see the tether on your dock

The strength of it is there

We are powerless to resist

 

We brace in the battle

In a war we created

For our love has a cost

And the price is paid daily

 

My love, march forward 

Steadfast in your plan

Yet now, just know you have my heart

Curled up, anchored to your own

For you are loved twofold

And no one really knows

 

My soul and yours are warriors

I will always have your back

This war will not defeat you

For my soul, it knows its place

 

You are loved beyond compare

One day, from afar

So march forward my love

For you will win our war.
