I fought a war today.
There were no guns, no bodies, no blood shed.
But one look, and we all knew it had to be dead.
The agony brought to us both could not be seen,
Kind of like poisoned oil in a fine tuned machine.
Words spinning, feelings coming unhinged.
TAPS played quietly as those walls rose again.
I tried for so long to look the other way,
But instead I fought a war today.
It would have killed me first,
I could see the motive crystal clear.
Time was crucial, maybe even cursed.
Just a headlight and a blinded deer.
I got it to trust me, believe all of my lies.
Mocked its emotions, laughed at its cries.
Built it from the ground up, then left it astray,
I finally stood up and fought a war today.
Hopeful its the last of them,
I don't think I can win anymore.
This one finally cracked me,
Shook me all the way to my core.
They say you can't win 'em all,
But I did just that.
Proved them wrong,
Showed them I'm not attached.
I picked up the pieces, threw them away.
And promised myself, this would be the last war I fought today.
