We are under siege,
Who am I fighting for?
I've lost the battle
While you're readying for war.
Paranoia
Drives our every move,
And I don't know what to do.

We've been enlisted,
With nothing left to lose.
I can't escape now,
I am trapped with no excuse.
Fire and ice
What were we thinking?
Now we are sinking.

I can't lie to you,
I need you by my side.
Keep me on the ground,
In your shadow I can hide.
I despise you,
Yet I can't let go.
I know, I know, I know.

A/N: This is a poem I've been working on for quite a while. It's been a work in progress for several weeks, and is the culmination of many edits, but this is the final product for you guys. I intended it to be rather like a song, so I'm not sure if that feeling is coming through the screen to you guys. The title also took a lot of thought and, like the rest of the poem, was written and rewritten several times. What do you think? Let me know in the comments, or if you'd like I'm more than happy to receive a PM. Have a lovely day, fellow wattpadians!
