"Confession"

Remember that time when you saved me from a burden?
I'm not sure when but I unknowingly catch some feelings
I hide my feelings under mattresses, books, and poems
I sometimes let others peek into that little secret
So I get to share the butterflies plus I love the teasing
That is until the day I received a message from your kingdom
In it, you said you have heard of my secret
"Is it true that you admire me?" you said
This is a challenge, a proposal for war
"Do not freak out!" I said to myself
Keep calm, the war has already begun
My hands trembled as I loaded my guns
I don't know how to defend myself, I don't know what to do
Should I be brave and use a sword to slice a way into your heart?
Should I use a gun of sweet words and shoot your chest?
Should I use a bow and arrow as Cupid did to me
Well I hope he shot you too, I really hope he did
All these weapons, all these strategies
I have waited for this day to come
But I end up saying "It's true, I mean everything I said"
I chose a dagger and stabbed you with the simplest words
The teasing, the jokes, the poems, the songs, every conversation
I mean everything I sent to you
There are so many ways to show how I feel
I can write a thousand words
I can write a novel or a poetry book
Just like I would and just like I did
I dropped my weapons, I raised my hands
I'm ready to surrender to your kingdom
Instead of a gun, all I heard was silence
"Why me?" I mean why not you?
You are a majestic king, your kingdom is a sight to behold
I am envious of your beauty and glory
I want to be part of it, I want to have you
Then I heard the cannons shoot "I'm sorry"
I knew at that moment I was going to die
You actually killed me, I thought you would spare my life
If you heard something dropped that day that was probably my heart
I became a glass in the ground
I didn't even think I was that fragile
I didn't ask for an explanation even if I am not fine
I feel like my insides are melting and my heart is breaking
My mind is on fire by thoughts burning in questions
I risked my heart like they said I should
You were worth the risk but sadly I was not
I was a brave warrior that deserved praise and honor
But I died in that war against you
I'd rather be a simple person than too be a great warrior who's dead
The war has ended and I lost
Maybe I was delusional to think I could beat you
This was my confession, a great warrior's death.
