The Battlefield
by Lidia Temores
Love is like a battlefield
A wide open range
Where our feelings flow
With anger
Bullets
And cannon balls flying everywhere.
Wishing to go back
To the comfort of the past.
First everything was so pretty;
When I held you close and called you mine,
When you said I was as beautiful
As an angel that God sent as a gift to you.
You showed me how to forget
All the bad things
And there is a world with hope inside,
But now we're so far apart
I'm the south pole
and you
in the north.
What happened that we are here
So far apart
With hate?
We've become shrews
that cannot be tamed;
You a violent thunderstorm
And I the wind
Whirling around
Without direction.
Standing alone with my thoughts
I'm left to ask thee
Why must it be?
