The War Within

Every time I see you the truce comes to end

The heart and mind trade blows leaving me no time to mend 

I look for help that no one will send 

For I’m alone in this war and for myself I must fend 

The war within is brutal and exhausting 

I lay still with fear, my eyes are glossing 

The impacts all around are scarring and embossing

Only time will tell the toll this is costing 

But as with wars and battles before

The smoke will clear and show what tore

The story you wrote becomes my lore

Loves a war that shakes your core 

From the ash I’ll rise like a phoenix in flame

The heart needs time like the grass needs rain

The mind will sort to feel more sane 

Till you appear once more, when my defense has wained
