The Battle

50 8 2
                                    

The battle has been fought

However no winners exists

The turmoil and bloodshed

Stains our hearts like 

Unreconciled emotions that still subsist


The Battle was brutal

Ripping souls apart

But still we continued without remorse

Still even in its end we are not over yet

Cries internal bleeds us to death


The battle was filled with rage

Daggers, spares and stones aimed

Never missing their mark

Ripping once perfect flesh apart

Greater enemies we are as we depart


The battle has ended

No more weapons of destruction

Only words targeted venomously 

Damaging emotions eradicating devotions

Tears held back to conceal the pain we feel


Both sides neither won or lost

As we gather our fallen pride

We walk away with tears stifled

As we suffocate behind our stoic personas

We mask the truth and we hide the stain


There are no winners here

Only losers with lost dignity 

Taking a walk filled with shame

As both have suffered equally

The grims of insanity 

Procured by feverish disdain for mortality


There is no defeat nor victory

Just a cry from the painful stimuli

That propelled this greed, this daring lust

Bringing us to the battlefield to duel it out

Staining us for all eternity
