Battlefield

That saying of Love is a Battlefield
The person was wise beyond years
Love makes people face those fears
While making the heart yield

Sealing love with a kiss
As if life depended on it
The relationship can be hell or bliss
Staying connected with each other though takes wit

Words always fall short
thus we're left with an emotional fort
And sometimes even court
Where you just want to take a trip to the port

Love is a mess
Love is Complicated
Love comes with modesty and full of express
And excitement is elated

Yet sometimes family can dictate
Family can destroy intimacy
Making everything look like a conspiracy
Even making people debate

Is this love true
Or is this love through
Words can hurt and reveal
As Family can seal the unwanted deal

One may be broken
While the other is bound and choking
Action is the only truth spoken
While the heart keeps hoping

One may have fallen in love
Yet the other kept getting the big shove
One is torn asunder and not healed
The Other Still Fights on the Battlefield
